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.

desurfer (1154) - Annapolis, Maryland, USA - JAN 27, 2007
Served on draft in a plastic cup on Rue Bourbon. Nice. Dark-ish amber body with little head. Aroma is bready and sweet. Flavor is smooth and mild, with a bit of spicy hops rounded out with lots of doughy maltiness. Palate is smooth with less than average carbonation. Pretty decent beer.

I first tried this many years ago while visiting my friend in New Orleans. I remember this being better on draft back then compared to what i can buy at the store now.

tjthresh (1840) - Greenfield, Indiana, USA - JAN 23, 2007
Pours a brilliantly clear amber with a froathy white head. Some caramel and toasted malt aroma with a punch of noble type hop aroma. Flavor is nice. Not special. Not offensive. A nice drinking beer. A touch more on the toasted side than caramel, but neither are really all that upfront. Thin palate. Better than swill, but not great.

Attractive amber color. Not much of a head or lacing (bottle). Just a regular Amber beer, nothing great or not so great about this brew.

This one has a nice amber color through the glass.. slight caramel flavor with a white head. Nothing too special here to report on

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a thin white head. Bread and grass in the nose. Light body and medium carbonation. Nondememo caramel taste. Dry finish. A completely average beer.
