Abita Amber Lager

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

Clear amber, moderate tan head. Sour caramel aroma. Tart toffee flavor. Having had six Abita beers in tha last couple days, the thing that impresses me the most from them is how clean they are. None knock yer socks off but the overall quality seems above average. This particular beer doesn’t really stand up as a Vienna but ranks with the mass of Ambers out there.

The bottle poured a beautiful crystal clear amber liquid with an almost white amble head. Unfortunately the head dissipated quickly and left almost no lacing. The aroma promises a load of malt sweetness and has notes of chocolate as well but no hint of hops. The body was medium with a thin texture and lively carbonation. The flavor was the fulfillment of the aroma promise of malt sweetness and the finish was long and slightly bitter.

Bottle. Pours a dirty dark redish color with a whitish head. smells like sewer water. Taste is bum urine on a dirty piece of cardboard in detroit.

Good, basic everyday beer. Much better on draught. A little watery to be a favorite, but as noted in other ratings, is made with exceptionally nice water. Has a certain sweetness to it, but more of sugar than malt. Nicely balanced hop wise.

All I can say is, thank god abita uses good water to make their brews. It is the most prevalent marker. Clear, crisp refreshing, yet very watery. Small amounts of malt in this weak amber.

clear dark brown with a decent rooasty, mallty flavor. Nothing special, but not offensive

Pour is a clear brown with a small head. Aroma could use some work but you do get some faint whiffs of malt. Flavor is much better. Lots of roasted carmel malts with a touch of brown sugar. Overall pretty bland though as the flavor does not make up for the lack of aroma or the weak look. If you going to try a Abita beer, try the turbo dog.

A hint of hops in the beginning with a somewhat malty finish. Nothing offensive, but it’s kind of bland. Nothing stands out at all.
