Abita Amber Lager

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

A hazy orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with a somewhat sharp hop note. The flavor is very light with hints of malt, and a somewhat stronger note of hops. A boring beer, can only be used for refreshment, even on a humid Danish summer day.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours amber with a slight haze and a small, off-white head. Somewhat fat, caramelish nose. Light and watery body with vague notes of caramel malt. Basically no bitterness. Thin indeed. 250606

Bottled. Amber coloured with rich, firm creamy head. Light pine needle aroma. Light bodied and rather sweet with just a light touch of resiny hop flavour. The maltiness is clean and hard, and the finish only provides a short sting of bitterness.

slighty chewy, grainy aroma. undistinctive.

Clear amber body with quickly dissipating white head that leaves no trace as the beer works its way down the glass. Aroma is caramel. Taste is pretty bland -- no make that without taste -- for the most part, before finishing with a pleasant medium caramel maltiness that hints at, though never quite reaches, roastiness.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus and caramel. Thin body.

Crystal clear, amber lager with a medium-sized, fizzy, off-white head. Good retention and good lacing. The nose is of steak, butter and light, fluffy bisquits. Very bland flavor, but well-balanced and refreshing. Some very light toffee and straw notes. Thin, watery beer with a fizzy mouthfeel and a short, crisp, clean finish.
