Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Clear light golden pour. A finger of fizzy white head. Falls fast... better than expected lacing.
S: Strawberry puree... fruity and sweet. Mild grains.
T/F: Light toasted malts... more 'beer' than expected. Strong strawberry flavor... light hopping for bitterness. Not overly sweet which is a good thing. Simple... crisp/refreshing. Ample carbonation.
O: If you want a light lager with some strawberry flavor then this will be right up your alley. Its saving grace is that it's not too sweet. Interesting to try once... would be hard pressed to revisit.

I consider the arrival of strawberry harvest one of the first signs of spring in Louisiana along with signs advertising availability of boiled crawfish. The two go hand in hand and are really great together.
Strawberry harvest is a refreshing and tasty fruit beer and my favorite of the strawberry beers offered regionally.
It is only available seasonally and I generally squirrel a couple six packs away to ease myself into summer.

Overall Not bad. The beer itself is pretty lackluster in flavor. The strawberry is there, but not a whole lot of fruity flavors appear. They meld with the lager and make it a little smoother. Overall, eh.
