Froze fresh strawberries and now they taste like pencillin?

So my family went to fresh pick strawberries at a farm and since we had more strawberries than we could finish before they went bad, we froze some. They were washed and frozen like the day we picked them, so it's not a case of them going bad. They had no freezer burn either and the ones I ate had been in the freezer only a couple of days.

Not every strawberry tastes weird, I'd say it's about half of them though that have a pencillin like taste. The fresh strawberries tasted fine! I don't understand what makes these taste so awful. I hate thinking I somehow ruined all that work we did! If anyone knows why this happens or how to prevent it, I'd love to know.
