3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(12oz bottle thanks to mar) clear rich amber, few soapy bubbles. Nose of raw grain mash, caramel, and honey. Taste of toasty grains, caramel, soft carbonation, medium thick body and decent linger of crackers. One of the better Abita beers I’ve ever had.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 ounce stubby bottle. Abita bills this as an amber but it pours a little more gold in color. Pretty decent head with a nice amount of foam. Smell is slightly skunky with an unmistakable lager smell. Beyond the skunk smell there’s a decent amount of caramel and cereal in the nose with some mineral notes as well. Light mouthfeel, a little heavy handed in the carbonation. Wish there was more to the body of this beer. It just doesn’t really stand up, and seems like it’s missing … something. The caramel taste comes rolling in but washes to the sides of the palate and is chased by water. I get that Abita is proud of their water, I’m just not sure if showcasing it in your beer is the way to go.

amber color with metallic smell, soapy head that dissipates quite rapidly, notes of caramel, slight bread and berry, little funk on the finish, very watery, really just a hot weather sessioner

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours light clear amber into a Sam glass. Off-white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Slight caramel aromas. Dry toast and nuts upfront. Abrupt caramel finish.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours a rich and cloudy (beautiful) amber color. No head whatsoever, and smells of a very light, watery beer. Taste is only and mildly bitter. Very little palate to speak of...very soft carbonation and thin texture. Unexciting bitter finish. I do not recommend Abita Amber.

light body, thin feel, soft carbonation, lightly bitter, amber, cloudy, minimal head, alcohol,
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
