Abita Amber Lager

Actually got this a a burger joint. It has a smooth taste and goes down easy enough. However, it did not have any knockout capabilty and is therefore rated as average.

I drank this in a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on July 20th. It was served in a bottle, cold, and tasted a little like Shiner Bock, for those who are familiar with the popular Texas brew. It was descent for a micro brew trying to make it in the macro world. I would’ve rather had an amber ale than this amber lager.

Taste 7/8 Bottle (date not marked). Looks: Nice amber with a good head. Aroma: Strong grain and straw aroma. Whiff of sweetness. Taste: Medium bodied. Straw, gain, a small initial bite. Then evens into malt/grain. Finishes spicy. Finish could be a little more smooth. Occasional.

I enjoy this abita amber much better than other abita beers. Smooth rich flavor beautiful amber color decent amount of frothy white head.

Lots of wood and grass in the nose. A good amber color with lots of carbonation and short lived head. Lacing was good from this bottle. A flat taste out of the glass, no noticeable carbonation as you would expect from the appearance. There is a creamy, smooth palate to it, but ends in some kind of collision between salty and poorly roasted malt. Abita beers have a distinct character to them. Turbo Dog, Purple Haze, and this amber have a unique flavor that is like no other brew, yet like all the brews from this brewer. It’s better out of the bottle.

A very nice beer indeed. Pours a pretty amber color with a lasting head. Aroma is faint but pleasant none the less. There is a very nice malty flavor to this beer, it is malty but not sweet. Very well done.

12oz bottle. thanks to my b-law josh. i appreciate his effort....poured a transparent cider brown with a thin off-white head....aroma of grainy and grassy muted malt. smells like a light cider....watery and diluted flavors of grainy malt lacking in flavor overall. semi-lively carbonation.....my first vienna rating though so props for that!

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with a large fluffy off white head. Grainy malt aroma with some fruity yeast esters. Carmelized malt flavor with carmelized malt flavor. Bit of grape and some spicey hops. Body is reasonably light with moderate carbonation. Finish is mostly dry with a bit more grape. Okay.
