better out of the tap than the bottle. not too overwhleming or heavy. relatively light for an amber. not bad by any stretch of the imagination, and refreshing on a hot and humid new orleans day.

Bottle, light sweetnotes, on the nose, but not much carmel. A light copper color, but not amber. Wow pretty lacking, I really like this style and this falls quite short in my opinion. If you want to be a semi macro, at least check out Bob’s 47. Watery, very watery for the style. Not much at all going on. Not terrible by anymeans but quite boring.

The color was a watery, yellow/orange. The head was fizzy and white. The aroma was citrisy with some floral hop. Tje flavor was citrisy yet a little bland. The palate was thin and the finish was abrupt.

Draft - Light amber / copper color with not much of a head. I was expecting more from this beer - being from Louisiana, I’d like to support the home state breweries. However, there was something lacking in the taste and was not as good as I was told. But a good po-boy will make any beer seem better.

Decent beer for the money, tastes fairly good. Light mild hoppiness. Very drinkable beer. Wouldn’t buy again

Like the Golden, the 12-oz. bottle of Amber poured true to its color, with a thick off-white head that effervesced and lasted quite a while, lacing the glass. Initial faint aroma promised sweet malt followed by bitter hoppiness. Also like the Golden, the taste was disappointing. The initial malty sweetness is overwhelmed by a strong and long-lasting bitterness, with an almost skunky aftertaste. Also, I found the consistency watery and thin.

This beer brings me back to the days of riding on a float with the Krewe of Tucks during Mardi Gras. That was a 7 year tradition and one sip of this brings me back. Beautiful amber color with a 2 finger head that stays the distance. The taste was caramel/malt with little to no hoppiness. All I need is to put on some beads, grab a bottle of this and relieve my wild years!

Bottle from Total Wine. Poured an amber color with a light white head. Taste was a bit bitter and I thought the hops and malts didn’t match up very well. Maybe my bottle was skunked.
