The beer pours a nice true amber color with a nice 3/4 inch head. The smell is rich with butter, slight hops, bread hints, and toasted cashews. The taste is nothing to jump about, it isnt bad, but it isnt spectacular. It’s obvious that Turbodog is the Abita Flagship. It has a good hops sense, but the butter cream is watered out. As a session beer goes, this is as mild and tepid as it gets, a good landmark Louisiana Brew, but jump for Turbodog first.

Pours a slightly hazy orange with lots of bubbles and a small amount of white foamy head. Aroma is very much of caramel malts with a slight hint of honey and pine. Flavor is very sweet and caramely, almost no hop flavor. Finish is flat and caramel. Overall, not very good.

Extremely light amber. Light toast very lean almost watery. Not much carbonation. Can not believe its 5%. Easy to drink.

Pours golden with a thin foamy off-white head. Aroma of toasted bready malts, cracker crisps, caramel, and some cereal malt. Taste is bread dough, crystal malt, and a touch of cardboard. Mouthfeel is a bit watery with soft carbonation. Thin and rather uninteresting, but not a bad beer. Missing the big and bold malty flavors of a true Vienna. At least this is easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle. Clear red/brown body with a small whitish head. Slight aroma of caramel. Mildly sweet taste, drinkable, but nothing special.

Wowsers. What a let down. Is it just me, or do crystal malts skunk easily? The first brown-bottle skunk I’ve ever encountered. Aroma is sweet, skunk, and honey. Flavor is initially quite sweet, then hop grassiness, a nutty flavor, and not much aftertaste. A let down.

I was less than impressed with this one. A mild sweet flavor, drinkable. The aroma was grainy to my allergy ridden nose and not really there. The head poured large, off-white and lasted most of the drink. A nice true amber color was clear. Finish was short and slightly astringent. I would probably try/rate again in the future, but was not pleased with this particular bottle.
