Abita Amber Lager

clear brownish/amber with a small yellow head. lightly toasted aroma. flavor is toasty with notes of caramel and nuts.

Draft sample at Cincy Brew Ha Ha 8/24 & 8/25. Pours slightly hazy amber color with a good sized creamy off white head. The aroma has mild sweetness and light pine . The flavor is medium sweet with subdued pine and caramel malts. No significant bitterness to speak of. Forgetable.

From the bottle. Aroma is of bread. Slightly sweet. Thin off-white head dissipated rather quickly. Nice copper color. Thin, one-dimensional with a slight caramel note. Not one I’ll buy again.

Sometimes I think some ambers are just the regulars with some added coloring. This may be one of those. Nothing offensive, just not memorable.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus and caramel. Thin body.

Horrible - sour, thin, and sloppy wet. The malt finish is somewhat tolerable but cannot cover for what is really a heinous, poorly constructed drink. Skip it.
