A good tasting strawberry cream ale. The strawberry flavor more noticeable than in some other strawberry flavored beers that I have tasted.

Cloudy yellow color, Smells like strawberry. Light front, smooth middle, and dry finish.
Could drink 6 and it be like drinking strawberry water.

Super refreshing. Great warm weather beer. Great nose full of real strawberry smell. Taste is reminiscent of strawberry shortcake, without being cloying or overwhelming. . Clean light lager finish. Very crushable.

I don't usually like fruit beers. I tried this one on tap at Dat Cajun Place in Panama City Beach, just down the road from my house. The color is hazy gold, the head is frothy white, and the smell is VERY strawberry. You expect cloying sweetness, but are surprised at a refreshing, well balanced, and light thirst quencher. The strawberry flavor is mostly in the nose, leaving a nice bubbly light beer flavor. Really good finish with minimal aftertaste. Good stuff!

Appearance: hazy, golden-straw color with a frothy, white head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
Aroma: strawberry. Exactly like the Abita version.
Taste: strawberries, but without the sweetness. Very creamy, and also some bread.
Mouthfeel: very fluffy. Carbonated.
Finish: wet.
An excellent, delicious beer.

Kind of different from a normal fruit beer. From my home town so thought i'd try it when a friend bought it. Not bad but I wouldn't buy it again, maybe something else from this brewery though. Seems like a Strawberry Ale would be hard to pull off well.

Not my favorite local brew, but still glad to see craft brewing becoming a thing in South Louisiana!

Covington Strawberry Ale
12 oz. brown glass bottle
Fairly average fruit beer, although I have to say it's hard to get strawberry flavor out of puree so if that's all they're using they've done an excellent job. It's got enough fruit to it to keep the ladies happy, but not so much that a gent can't enjoy one as well. Haziness, I think, can be ignored as they're using real fruit. The aroma is pleasant, and displays both the strawberry and the sweetish malt, which is also true of the flavor. Where I find it goes slightly off is that the malt is slightly sweet, but more importantly, almost a little candyish. If you drink it cold you won't notice it, but when it warms it reminds me of cotton candy. On the other hand I don't think you want to increase the bitterness. Perhaps a slight bit of tartness might, or a more thorough fermentation. Regardless, it's a fairly enjoyable and drinkable fruit beer.
