Nice amber color. More sour than sweet. Nothing special, but more flavor than many lagers.

Pretty forgettable. Reminds me of liquid cardboard. The taste is rather like a cola that you get from a machine that has almost completely ran out of syrup. Pass.

Listing Abita Amber as a Vienna makes more sense of this beer to me. German style beer with bready, musty flavors. If Abita is targeting Southern craft beer drinkers they may have something here. Light enough to drink in warm weather and enough flavor to satisfy a beer geek.

draft. Nothing really stood out on this, meaning this wasn’t great...but it was pretty well balanced.

This was pretty bad. I don’t know if I got a bad batch [I put it in the refrigerator for only about 1/2 hour after getting it back from the distributor] or what, but on the whole I’d rather be in Philadelphia drinking Utica Club.

Bottle with gputty. Clear orange with a thin white head. Nose is very mild caramel, a touch of herbal hop. Bland flavors of caramel and small spicy hop. Meh.

From bottle. Pours a hazy amber with foamy off white head. Nose is light caramel malt with an underlying funkiness. Flavor is more of the same, a little hop spiciness, and a clean finish.

(Bottle) Pours amber with a small, short-lived head. Malty with some hoppy notes in the aftertaste. Decent brew, but overall a pretty run-of-the-mill amber ale.
