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.

I normally enjoy an occasional fruit beer, but this on just didn’t work for me. It was truly like drinking a strawberry soda, minus the sugar.

Pours a light clear golden coloring, has a breakfast ceral malt aroma with that artifical fruit flavoring, like strawberry quick. A decent lager as a standalone, biscuity albeit grainy cereal maltiness, with a very thin body and fading artifical fruit flavors.

Those "ripe, red Louisiana strawberries" are front and forward here. This is more of what I expected from Purple Haze. More strawberry throughout than what I remember with Pete’s Strawberry Blonde. A little thin but would be very refreshing on a humid Louisiana day!!!

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

Interesting, but I don’t think I would drink this one again. Pours a slightly cloudy blond with a thin white head. Weird ripe strawberry aroma. Large strawberry flavor and very sweet. A bit too much for me.

Pronounced aroma of butter, with a little cream and hay in the background. Slightly cloudy yellow pour with a medium creamy head. Some glass coating and nice rising streams of carbonation. Very sour strawberry taste at first which mellows by the end of the glass to a more sweeter non-strawberry taste. Virtually no finish. It’s a nice drink, but not very beery.

pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma is malt, strawberry, sort of an artificial twizzlers fruit aroma. Flavor is malt, strawberry, artificial sweet strawberry candy flavors. Decent fruit profile but not that great.

Updating this rating, as I had one today

Aroma: Smell is all strawberries
Appearance: Clear yellow
Flavor: Sweet, plus the lager malt characteristics
Palate:Light body, chewy, lots of carbonation
Overall Impression: I remember this being a very fruity beer. Too sweet for my liking, but I could see how someone might enjoy it, if that was there type of beer.
**Updated with additional information, but the rating stayed the same.
