Commercial Description:
Ripe, red Louisiana strawberries are harvested at the peak of the season in the early morning chill. The scent of the juicy red Ponchatoula berries fills the air as they’re picked and pressed for Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager. The end result is a light, crisp lager with just a hint of strawberry sweetness.

Thanks to deepsouth for this one Bottle poured into my pint class produced a finger worth of white head that turns to a thick lace. This sits on top of a hazy pale light gold body Aromas of strawberries lots of them fill your nose Flavors of strawberries and bread wow this stuff is strange but in a good way interesting. Light and crisp mouthfeel so it makes for a good summer treat An interesting beer glad I tried it. Don’t think I could drink too many of these but It would be fun to have every once in a while. The strawberry flavor is great and refreshing so it is a great summer brew

Bottle. Slightly hazed gold. Small white head. Nose is strawberries, maybe some strawberry jam, grains, and light grass. Taste is berry and grains, not unlike Special K with strawberries cereal. Soft grass and biscuit as well. Body is light but very bubbly. Lots of belching with this one. Some light bitterness at times as well. Finish is more grains, biscuit, strawberries and soft grass. Not bad at all. Rather refreshing!

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Light lacing. Aroma is berries and lightly sweetened grain. Taste like sweet, berry flavored buttered popcorn. Kinda odd, but tastes OK. Light to medium body. No unpleasant aftertastes. A decent fruit beer.

This fruit beer pours a yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grain, with some strawberries. A light bodied fruit beer. The malts are cereal and grain. The hops are slightly spicy. The strawberry flavor is somewhat subdued and not all that sweet. Lively carbonation. Not much here, the fruit flavor is so mild its almost not there. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours a pale creamy yellow w/ decent head and a blotchy pinicillin culture lace. Smells like strawberry cheesecake. Light nectar w/ ample residual effers. Defined strawberry cheesecake w/ no sugar. The finish is bittered w/ acidity. This is not good beer. Three sips and down the drain it goes.

Pours a five finger white head that fades fairly quickly and leaving some lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Strawberry nose. Flavor is strawberry but is not sweet; well thought out fruit beer. Clean finish. $2.95 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Tasted 5/26/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a golden hue. Pleasant strawberry nose. Wafting. Touch grainy undertone. Light bodied and crisp. Pleasantly fruity. Mildly sticky. Tangy with mild effervescence. Well crafted and truly enjoyable. Hello Ladies.

I was quite hot and tired when sampled this and the strawberry is not in the background, but doesn’t overwhelm the larger flavor. Only problems are I find larger rather boring, especially medocre larger, like this, and I’m not real keen on strawberries either. Still I admire this bid and have no regrets trying it.
