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.

2012 Version
Tasted on 7/25/12 from a capped 12oz bottle purchased at Whole Foods Green Hills. Pours hazy golden with a thick white head that slowly recedes to average lace, leaving a bit of sticky residue along the inside of the glass. The nose is a strange creamy malt aroma with an almost yogurt-like strawberry aroma. The flavor is more focused on the strawberry with the same light malt and creamy note. The body is medium with a creamy texture, thin, but fizzy carbonation, and a long strawberry yogurt finish.

Aroma is hay and strawberries. Pours a light hay blonde color with no head or lacing. A really nice malt flavor to compliment the fruit. A good offering from abita.

Nice strawberry flavor, not too sweet. Actually prefer this over the popular abita purple haze. Perfect beer for summer drinking.

A little afraid to try a strawberry beer, but it was an excellent subtle taste of strawberries. Wonderful beer for a hot summer day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Malty_MacHops (577) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - JUN 9, 2013
The aroma is bright strawberries and a touch of grass and citrus. The beer is golden a little hazy and forms a nice white foam. Balanced a little towards the sweet side, but the strawberries become a little weird in the mouth (hairspray?). Light, crisp, and refreshing.

12oz bottle. Aroma is a some hops with a hint of sweetness. Appearance is golden with a good bit of carbonation. Taste starts off with some malt and hops mixed and then you get the strawberry flavor which is mixed with some light malt. Palate is ok, a little skunky malt aftertaste. Overall, a good beer for what it is. Will buy again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

It poured a hazy light golden color with a small white head. The aroma was of strawberry yogurt with a moderate palate, not overly carbonated. The taste was of strawberry gum. Good grass cutting beer.

12oz bottle pours pale straw with white head. Nose is strawberry funk. Flavor is more of a strawberry cake with straw. Lightly sweet. Easy to drink. Sticky. Cheesy aftertaste.

Beerman6686 (3186) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 29, 2013
This one poured a hazy lighter yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of strawberry, at least it’s fresh, and light grain. Flavor was similar, a bit sweet but not artificial so ok to drink in small amounts.

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Pours clear, golden small white head not a lot of lacing, light body. Aroma is mostly grain and strawberries. Taste is also fruity starts like a regular lager and the strawberries hit you towards the end. Glad I tried but not too impressed by it.
