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 at Tattooed Mom. Light blond pour. Thankfully has a real strawberry taste. Not sweet. Not as bad as it could be.

Not bad at all and that shocked me! Nice murky gold pour with a white head that quickly fades into some lacing. Th aroma is sweet as the strawberries stand out nicely. The taste is a smooth & fairly uninteresting lager until the strawberry kicks in on the finish. It’s not over the top but it’s a decent and quite drinkable fruit beer. Not too shabby!

Single bottle. Pours a dull gold with some fizzy white head. Smells like a strawberry jam sandwich. Taste is crisp and fruity. Light body with a slightly grainy finish. Not bad, but definitely a novelty beer.

Fatehunter (749) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - MAY 7, 2013
Poured a thin head on a clear, hazy golden colored body. The aroma is all strawberry jam. The real stuff without the extra sugar. The taste is a strawberry jam with a bit of lager thrown in. Fairly mild flavor, which in this case is good. The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation. It is what it is... a strawberry beer. And at that it does a good job.

Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager bottle pour Appearance. Clear golden with. 1 finger white head with minimal lacing Aroma mild malty with moderate sweet strawberry hints Taste. Mildly hop front end with little malty middle and a sweet strawberry finish Mouthfeel smooth with moderate to heavy carbonation Overall a nice strawberry Lager that balances well with spicy foods like boiled crawfish. But being from Louisiana I may be a little bias ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

.Golden pour with a slight pinkish hue. Aroma and taste of strawberries and wheat. Taste has a hint of strawberry bubblegum. Interesting for a change of pace from darker or heavier hopped beers. OK.

adnielsen (6153) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - APR 11, 2013
Bottle @ home picked up at Wilbur’s Fort Collins. Pours just a bit hazy golden appearance with a light cream colored head. Cotton candy, spicy strawberry seedy, bubblegum aroma. Really artificial flavor. Holy fucken shit. This tastes exactly like exactly like Bubble Yum Cotton Candy Bubble Gum. Drinkable if you like liquefied bubble gum. Yum a dum dum.

12 oz bottle. Pale, golden and clear with a fluffy diminishing white head. Very sweet and and strong candy aroma with fresh strawberries. Light body with a crisp feel, kind of watery. Light grainy lager flavor with some berry fruitiness. Pretty clean finish. It was OK.
