They have a mild but definite strawberry scent, and a similarly mild flavor. There's nothing wrong with them, but a ripe red strawberry is sweeter, more intense, and to my tastes much better. I'm guessing that, other than novelty value, a reason for growing these is they may like slightly different growing conditions: these turned up at the market two or three weeks after the regular strawberries.
Cattitude noticed a faint but definite undertone of pineapple in the flavor, and thinks that explains the name. (They dnn't look or smell anything like a pine tree.)
I'm glad to have tried them, but probably won't get them again, even if there aren't any normal strawberries.
