Abita Amber Lager

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Vienna
Covington, Louisiana USA

Bottle, 12 oz. Light copper colored with a diminishing off-white head. Hop and malt aroma with perhaps red fruits. Not much taste here. It is refreshing, though, and better than a macro brew.

Bottle pours a clear amber color with a faint white head that fades soon after the pour. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, and almonds. Flavor is sweet and malty. The aftertaste sort of reminds me of a chocolate Tootsie Pop mixed with caramel and malts.

You know, I think I liked this one more than most people. Amber color off white head that disappears quickly. Nice palate with enough but not too much carbonation. Clean and easy to drink. I liked it.

Abita Amber Lager is a clear deep amber color with a thin off=white head. The aroma and taste are full of malts and a bit of caramel with minor hints of soy.

Poured and amber color with a moderatley sized head. Nothing outstinding about this beer. It was smooth and malty just as the description says but was somewhat thin-bodied. Not bad, but nowhere near the top.

Non dimemo malty aroma. Presents well in a glass with a fairly active head and nice warm hue. Decent flavor, light toasted notes. Decent palate, clean finish. Overall a very drinkable bier. I think it’s a bit too mellow and unintresting. Lagering definatly seems to effect this bier.

Several years ago I was introduced to Abita brew at a fest, and loved it. Pours a semi clear copper colour with a small head. crisp clean taste, moderately sweet malt character. overall a nice beer.
