A crowd pleaser brewed for the 2013 KC Nanobrew Festival.

Sent off to a competition before making some adjustments. Review was that it was too acidic (almost sour) from all the strawberries and also lacked aroma. I added .5 lb. of lactose and 1 lb. of strawberries to the keg and it worked wonders. The aroma really came out and was much smoother.

Shapeshifting is the ability of a being to physically transform into another form or being, either as an inherent faculty of a mythological creature, or by means of magic.
