"A golden appearance with a white head. The aroma is of course strawberries with some corn notes. The flavor consists of strawberry syrup and some grassy notes as well. Easy drinking and not over powering in the strawberry dept. Overall not bad for some hot weather drinking"

"Hesitant to buy a single, I'm now kicking myself for not getting the entire sixer. This is a surprisingly wonderful fruit beer. Looks like a pale lager with a golden yellow body and fluffy white cap. Delectable aroma of candied strawberries, very subdued and intriguing. Crisp yet soft on the palate, it's a delicate mouth feel with a sweet, fruity punch. The flavor really stands out with a nice pale malt backbone and complimenting fresh strawberries. The fruit really accents this lager and tastes genuine. Thumbs up to Abita for this delicious treat."

"This fruit beer pours a yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grain, with some strawberries. A light bodied fruit beer. The malts are cereal and grain. The hops are slightly spicy. The strawberry flavor is somewhat subdued and not all that sweet. Lively carbonation. Not much here, the fruit flavor is so mild its almost not there. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter."

[4] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/26/2008 6:33:03 PM)
"Overall a pretty decent brew and very well balanced. A little hesitant at first, my mind was changed pretty quickly. Pours a bright cloudy golden colour with a full white head. Taste is very refreshing, soft fresh strawberries and honey on the nose. On the palate, strawberries again as well as a little grass. Clear and clean taste throughout the beer."

[5] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/24/2008 9:03:27 PM)
"The beer is topped by a two-finger thick, pale off-white colored head that sits on top of a clear, gold colored brew. The aroma smells distinctly of strawberry syrup, with even a touch of vanilla. Nothing else is really noticeable in the aroma, though there is a touch of butterscotch, which might just be a product of the strawberries.
The flavor is fairly dry and non-descript until the strawberry flavor kicks in. This tastes of strawberries quit strongly, but it is more an oral-nasal component than an actual flavor. The strawberries contribute a mix of vanilla, light butterscotch and of course that strawberry signature. There is a soft sweetness to the finish that is quite light, the sweetness itself seems to be accented by the fruity, strawberry character. Perhaps a touch of thin malt character is noticeable underneath the strawberry, but, other than the spritzy carbonation, this is purely strawberry driven. There is no real beer character here at all. This is very light and quaffable.
Almost not beer because it is so one-dimensionally strawberry driven. Having said that, the strawberries have been used quite well here. The beer base is quite clean allowing the fresh, clean strawberry character to come out shining. I didn't dislike this nearly as much as I was expecting & I really like that this has hardly any sweetness to it at all (it really could have been a cloying mess otherwise). If I was a big strawberry fan, I would have enjoyed this a bit more, it seems to be one of the better, bland fruit dominated beers out there.
