Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Covington, Louisiana USA

Found a sixer of this at a local gas station and had to give it a shot. Clear golden pour with a pretty good head. The aroma isn’t nearly as filled with strawberry as I was hoping. Very, very faint aroma of berries with the usual lager yeastiness. Fairly average tasting lager with the exception of a metallic aftertaste and the faintest of berry flavors. Just ok to me.

yellow watery pour with a layer of froth. slight strawberry scent with cardboard in the background. strawberry taste that reminds me of bad kool aid, but this has a cardboard aftertaste as well.

Bottle. Pours a thin but lively syrup yellow with an aroma of strawberry syrup cereal and grass. Flavor is a thin veil of dew-covered strawberry with a tinge of floral grass in the finish. Watery mouthfeel. Not bad, but definitely not the best example of a fruit beer.

Appearance is yellowish amber with a thick head that laces the glass. I can’t detect much of an aroma- slight hint of strawberry. LOVE the flavor!! SLightly bitter, strawberry, barley, wheat... smooth on the palate with a crisp finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong strawberry. The taste is a watery strawberry and a sweet finish. Not too much with this one.

Candy smell with a clean yellow color. The flavor is too strong and offensive. If one wants to taste the flavor of strawberries, it’s best to eat strawberries.

Slight tart strawberry aroma. Yellow, pale in color. Certainly strawberry flavor but not sweet. More like unsweetened syrup. reminds me of strawberry quick or a milk cereal I once had as a kid. Off lingering finish.

I was a bit skeptical of trying yet another "fruity" beer, but this one wasn’t too bad. It was not overly sweet like most, but managed to blend a subtle strawberry aroma with a great mild taste. Very enjoyable, quite crisp.
