beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Feb 15, 2008 12 oz Bottle-Clear amber pour w/a slight head. Solid, easy drinking Amber w/flavors of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, & bread dough. If you like Ambers like I do, you will enjoy this beer. Very Yuengling like; definite session brew. Something you can enjoy & not think too much about. AR (417), Georgia, USA Feb 15, 2008 Not very smooth. Good feel as the beer lingers pleasantly. Acidic malt flavor. mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Feb 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into lager glass- poured fair amber brown, minimal head (x>1mm) dissolved to nothing in a minute, extremely light carbonation. Aroma of light malt. Hits the mouth with a very thin body, the malt along with a tiny amount of hops are detectable, finish is crisp. Slightly before what I would consider an average vienna, but it did help put out the fire when I added too much green death to my crawfish Po’ Boy I was munching on at the time- it all equals out in the end. tio (3), Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA does not count Feb 8, 2008 Probably my favorite Abita so far. I like the hit of caramel on the end. Still have a few to try. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 5, 2008 Copper-amber with light, white head / Simple corn nose / Medium body, low carbonation with fair finish / Simple corn and honey flavors / I love New Orleans, and I love drinking Abita in New Orleans, but this beer really isn’t very good. Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Feb 2, 2008 Has an amber color as the name suggests. Not a very good aroma. Flavor is decent, a sweet malt with a very mild bitterness. Not too bad overall. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pours a clear amber with a crème head. Nose is like a pile of wet grass from yesterday that I let sit out on the front yard since then. Nasty. Over time calms down to a mere wet grass stink, but still... Flavor seems to be heavily influenced by a straw character. Feel is decent at best. Nice level of carbonation and a good liquid feel, but the flavor just kills any possibility of a positive experience here. Overall just a weak beer. Nothing at all good about it from my point of view. Avoid. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 20, 2008 Ive always liked this beer, and perhaps it is situational, because it takes me back to the 1st time I had the beer in New Orleans over 15 years ago. Smooth and easy to drink, with some rich caramel notes, but a bit over-carbonated.
