ilovedarkbeer (1864) - Abilene, Texas, USA - MAR 17, 2009
Pours a pale amber color with a small to medium sized head. Biscuits, bit of caramel, some toast, and a bit of malt. Medium short finish. Forgettable but not offensive.

Worldmarket - Bottle - Little to no aroma, maybe slight malt. Golden to light amber color, no signs of hop at first until later as the beer warmed. Malt flavors were there. OK on palate. This is an average beer to my taste buds.

I’ll admit it, I’m partial to Abita because I’m from New Orleans. It’s an above-average beer good for standard drinking, and usually what I’ll go to at a restaurant. Clear amber color, white head. Goes down smooth with flavors of malt and caramel and a clean finish.

Overall Impression: I remember this being a decent Amber beer, but I just didn’t stick in my brain too well.

**I will need to re visit this ranking in the future, as I don’t remember all the intricacies of this beer well enough to record them at this time.

TheAlum (2981) - Lisle, Illinois, USA - MAR 9, 2009
12 oz bottle from the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, Il). Pours a bit of a dark gold, just a touched hazed, with decent offwhite head that dissipates to a good film. Well carbonated, aromas are some decent bready malt with light biscuit and a spiciness to it. Initial is light bodied, light bready malt, light sweetness, with a faint spice and pepper. A little too watery and weak for me. Needs to pronounce it’s style, not cower in fear and lack flavor. Quenching, but lacking overall.

alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 8, 2009
Clear amber color with a white head. Mild hop, wheat, and malt aroma. Smooth drinking. Not much carbonation. Flavor of malts, wheat and a mild hop end.

sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - MAR 6, 2009
pours copper with white head. Aroma is hoppy, wheat and malty, really nothing special there. Taste, hoppy with some fruit notes, light malt presence giving the beer a sweet mouthfeel of wheat/caramel with notes of grains. Boring at best.
