Abita Amber Lager

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Vienna
Covington, Louisiana USA

Nose of fruity caramelly malt; light amber color with a medium yellow-tinged head that didn’t hang around too long; flavor show some malt but also buttery diacetyl, which I don’t really care for.

Golden body with a small white head. Malty aroma, light corn was evident. Caramel taste, some light grain. Smooth ending.

Hazy amber color with a small frothy white head. Sweet malty aroma, with hints of caramel. Flavor of light caramel.

Clear yellow to copper color. Doesn’t seem even close to amber in color. Thin head. Weak aroma. I smell almost nothing. I taste some really nice hop bitterness that pushes it out of style a bit. There is some caramel flavor notes that are a little less sweet than I’d expect. Nice light beer that kind of misses the Amber Lager style. Really could use more body.

Pours a crystal clear amber with a thin ivory head. Nutty malt. Biscuity and sweet. Taste is malty and biscuity. Some faint hops. Lightly sticky mouth. Pretty basic, pretty standard amber lager (OK, maybe a bit maltier than your average amber) but very tasty and well crafted. Abita never knocks it out of the park but they are always solid. This one is no exception.

People have told me that this beer is "good" and I just don’t get it. Aroma of sour malt, slightly caramelly with a hint of roast. Flavour, sour, not all that great. Very little hops, very little bitterness. Not crisp or refreshing in the remote; this beer is a bit too heavy. Nothing about it stands out as good in any way, although it’s only slightly unpleasant, making it better than typical macro-swill. I still prefer miller light.

Not bad, but really average. Finally drank this because I kept seeing it on Emeril Live.

Far too sweet, nothing that interesting. Must have lost something in the travel. No lace, no real aroma.
