The strawberry taste is not very strong in this beer, so I felt like it would be misleading for it to have the same name as my previously successful strawberry pale ale. I decided to go with a preppy name since most of my beers have not been named that way. The beer is cloudy (hence the name) I think that I did not wait for the wort to cool enough prior to putting the strawberries in. This light bodied beer has a much more delicate taste than the previous beer, but with well pronounced hoppy earth and light spice tones. It does not have the same malty flavor that I tasted at racking, but finishes clean. It did not turn out exactly the way I wanted, but it tastes good non-the-less and so I shall declare it a success.
