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.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a one finger snow white head. The nose is malt and strawberry saltwater taffy. The taste is malt, wheat and some light strawberry in the finish. The flavor is far less sweet than the aroma suggests which is a good thing. Medium mouthfeel. Not bad really for what it is. A nice summer beer.

Bottle... Lightly hazed, straw-colored lager with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. The aroma is grainy and biscuity with a nice touch of strawberry extract and a whisper of buttery diacetyl. Light-bodied and mildly creamy with tingly carbonation. Lightly sweet; lightly tart flavor with some strawberry essence. Crisp, lightly bitter finish.

Very light color of straw; slightly hazy. Good near-white head. Light (slippery) lace. I don’t smell any berry unless you count the Frankenberry-like smell. Also, this has a milky lactose nose. Lots of sourness, particularly in the swallow and the aftertaste. The carbonation is quite low. This is an odd flavored beer; not my style.

If you are expecting a sickeningly sweet strawberry flavored beer, this is not it. A great hot weather beer, it is a nice clean crisp lager with an aroma of fresh picked strawberries. The strawberry is almost entirely in the nose and finish. Mouth feel is clean and crisp, nice finish, great for hot summer weather like summer in Houston or New Orleans.

(12oz. bottle) Pours a hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of strawberry ice cream, grain, and husky. Flavor of strawberry yogurt, hops (grass), jelly, and powder sugared waffles.

Crushed with Jakebra. Incredibly light body combined with nast, poop, and, like they said, just a hint of strawberries. Total dumb bitch beer.

Drank it from the bottle so cannot comment on the appearance. I will assume for my rating. Smells of strawberry and some malt. Flavor is like strawberry danish. Reminds me a bit of strawberry soda.

Yellow pour with a white head. Tastes like a very light beer with a cream candy dropped in. Sort of like a pale lager with a creamy finish. Kind of interesting
