Amber color with a large head that dissipates slowly. Wet sock flavor. Not very drinkable.

A very light beer, not what I was expecting from the fat little bottle. Poured clean with virtually no head. The flavor was good, a little malty if you concentrate real hard. Otherwise very thin and watery, but decent overall.

bottle. For some reason I was thinking this was going to be a spectacular beer. It wasn’t. It was a malty lager, which was good, but finished weak with a thin palate. If I were buying abita again I would stick with their turbo dog.

Bottle. Pours dull amber. Taste is musty/sour. Very plain and watery, not worth drinking. Had it 2 for 1 so I got stuck with an unfortunate 2nd one.

Bottle (12oz). Poured slightly hazy orange-amber, decent fizzy off-white diminishing head. Pretty nasy aroma of vegetal sour malt with a hint of chocolate. Taste is not bad - nutty grain, some light vaguely roasty malt, brackish finish. Mouthfeel is dry and watery. Not recommended.

A medium-bodied, decently hopped amber beer. Fairly drinkable, good appearance. A good sociable beer.

abita doesn’t do it for me. none of it. Had in Nawlins a and I didn’t care for it there either. Had this one tonight and man it’s very below average. I’d rather drinks a mass produced beast beer the this crap. But it was the only beer on the menu that I hadn’t tried. I always say I’ll try anything twice - but not this one!!

I only drank this to support the hurricane victims, and it is much like the water floating around the city these days. I can dig some turbo dog, but other than that no abita is a good thing. Very light, watery, weak, maybe some caramel in the background, but not alot.
