Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, glassy transparency. The head forms quickly but remains thin and delicate, with modest lacing around the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence characteristic of a well-made lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh, ripe strawberry fruit — jammy and candy-like without vinous overwarmth. Supporting notes of white floral character and subtle honeyed sweetness emerge beneath the fruit. A light, clean, grain-derived backdrop keeps the aromatic profile balanced and inviting.

◐ Taste

Strawberry fruit dominates the palate entry with a candied, slightly honeyed character. The mid-palate remains light and crisp, with gentle peach undertones and a whisper of citrus brightness. Bitterness is restrained (10 IBU), allowing the fruit and subtle malt sweetness to shine without astringency; the overall impression is smooth and refreshing rather than complex.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with the fruit character fading gracefully into a gentle, lingering sweetness. A crisp, refreshing aftertaste emerges, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
