caramel pour with a medium white head. Grainy aroma. Flavor was grain, caramel, and just a bit of hops. Finishes really clean, refreshing. An easy beer to session.

Sweet caramel malts and quite a bit of breadiness to the flavor. Nose is sweet and a bit earthy and doughy. Hops balance with a soft herbal and spicy quality. The bitterness was a bit strong for the malts in my opinion, I thought the malts were decent and should have been more the center of the beer, but the hops seemed to wash them away and leave it kinda bland.

I’m in New Orleans and I had just had a delightful dinner at an outdoor table at a fine bistro. I had hoped that a local beer, with some local gumbo and smoked kurobuta pork bellies would do the trick. Dinner was great but we switched to wine pretty quickly. No account nose. Minimal flavor ... minimal amount of sweet malts and hop bitterness. Thin in the mouth. If it were hotter, and if the food were less interesting, I could have made an excuse for a second beer.

Pours a dark caramel with a foamy eggshell head. Aroma is light, just like all the other Abita brews, but theres a little (little) malt scent. Flavor is kinda thin. Little malt, little yeast. Mostly water. Aside from the ’Light’, this is probably my least favorite of the Abita sampler pack. Just way too watery.

hmmm.... what should i say about this. well there isn’t much to say i guess that’s the problem. Pours orange, quickly fading fuzzy beige head. the taste is extremely watered down, some malts present. This was a money waster

bottle, Not the best beer but it is an ok beer. I would rather have this than a bud. Although thats not saying much. Taste is a bit flat with the hops and a metallic finish.

As expected this is an amber colored beer with a light tan head. Aroma is malty and flavor follows suit with plenty of malt as well. Maybe a hint of caramel as well. Easy to drink, but nothing amazing.
