61. Erdbeere, Morango. Strawberry flavored beer's, Framboise is a Raspberry flavored Beer, and I think the odd one out Fragola as it is a wine made of the The Isabella grape.

Quite simply, Mick, Erdbeere, Morango and Fragola are German, Portuguese and Italian respectively for "Strawberry", whilst Framboise is the French for "Raspberry".
However I like your answer and am going to give 2pts for it, plus 0.5pt for the beer connection.
