next to no head, crystal clear amber. I actually like how this smells, sweet malts, caramel, some metallic. reasonable color. Very watery and malty, nice malts, actually. Not as dusty tasting as some. decent hop character. Only problem I have is that it is very watery and uneventful.

The latest ubiquitious beer of the French Quarter. When I first started visiting New Orleans, Blackened Voodoo was in every bar. This isn’t an appropriate replacement, but I guess it satisfies the visitors who normally drink mass-produced pale lagers. Nice look, pleasant aroma, and not a bad taste.

Had this on draft at some Lebanese restaurant in New Orleans the first time. Bottle-poured from around here is not as good. Weak, white head with a light aroma of pine and alcohol. Tastes a bit skunky and not a lot of flavor.

Draught at Cafe Maspero, New Orleans.
Light amber color, small head. Weak malty aroma. Roasted malt and grassy flavor. OK, but rather weak.

Pours brown with tan smallish head. Wheat and malt to nose. Tastes of mildly toasted malt, wheat, hops, and a pear overtone. Alcohol flavors begin to come through as the beer warms. Coffee aftertaste. Very clean.

I’m not especially fond of lagers, but this one has more flavor and color then most. Thought I was drinking an ale at first. A very smooth, drinkable brew.

Pourd hazy amber with thin off white head...smelled caramel and sweet with a touch of hops...very bland and generic, but still drinkable...

bottle. pours a dark brownish gold. aroma is predominantly malty. sweet caramel flavor that evened out a spicy boudin stuffed pork loin i had with this. the hops in this are very mellow and gard to detect, not a bad beer for some situations.
