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

Serve in Lager glass

On tap in a pint glass. Aroma is straight malt and fruity lager all the way. The flavor is a bit of malt in the front with a somewhat dry finish.

12oz bottle: appearance is amber brown with minimal white head, aroma of caramel malt and slightly stale, flavor has a slight amount of caramel not too sweet.

bottle. Clear amber color with a fizzy off white head. Caramel and toasted bread aroma. Initial taste is slightly sweet with caramel and sweet dough. It eventually changes to a bitter flavor and finishes with that all familiar funky Abita spring water aftertaste. Still refreshing and drinkable in my book.

Clear red-orange, loose off white head. Grainy caramel aroma. Taste is water, light caramel, toasted grain, little else.

2009 Bottle - Pours brown with a small tannish head...aroma is malty and a bit grainy...flavour is similar, light cocoa, toast...passable, but I reach for many things before an amber usually...

Not a great amber by any stretch of the imagination. Light but refreshing. It went rather well spicy Cajun food like crawfish etouffee, gumbo, and jambalaya. Still it’s one step above a typical domestic light beer in my mind. Lacks in flavor, body, complexity, and aroma. Drinkable though

(12oz bottle) Pours a clear copper body with a small off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted grain, and grass. Flavor of nuts, grass, toasted malt, and caramel.

This is a good amber beer, but some batches tend towards sour. Usually better on tap. I’d recommend giving it a chance, with bread and butter for a side dish. RJT
