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.

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.

Bottle. Pours out a golden color witha one finger (but quickly disappearing) white head. Aromas are of strawberries, albiet kind of a fake strawberry, and the grain from the malt comes through as a shortcake scent. Flavor then comes across as fairly artificial, almost like a Fruit Roll Up or strawberry flavored Special K. It’s not really disgusting or anything, but I’m not sure to what extent I would call this beer. Maybe \"Alcoholic Fruit Roll Up\" beverage or something like that. Still, it is the first beer I’ve tried with strawberries...

Bottle. Strawberry malt aroma (smells like Strawberry Quik(tm) - my childhood favorite). Golden yellow with small head. Strawberry malt flavor. Pretty weak. If you want a fruity, light beer, really would be a good choice. Will probably be a big hit with anyone who likes their Purple Haze.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sour, vaguely skunky and reminded me of rotting berry. The flavor was vile artificial berry and bad pale lager. The sugary artificial berry flavor lingered.

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.

12 oz bottle...2007...pours a pale straw color, a nice little frothy off white head....strawberry aroma not very strong...an undertone of sourness...totally smells like a strawberry kids cereal!!!...fun...palate is delicate and well balanced...nice strawberry flavor on the front...the back ends like a miller lite...pleasant...:) So I got curious and added a guinness to the abita...and its really really tasty, highly recommend...."No doubt, add a stout!"

Bottle. Aroma is that of Captain Crunch Berry, no joke. Flavor is that of light strawberry. Probably would go really good with a desert of some kind on a nice hot spring or summer evening.

Slightly hazy golden body with a medium creamy white head. Sweet strawberry shortcake aroma. Sweet strawberry cream flavor with some honey and caramel in the background.
