3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice copper hue with large head and good lacing. Malty aroma with hints of grain, nuts, lemongrass, grape, and honey. While taste was a bit thin, it was well balanced and smooth, clean finish with just a bit a bitterness and tartness. Thin to medium-bodied. Dry and lively mouthfeel, slighty metallic feel. Not too bad, quaffable, the best of Abita standard brews.

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2007 Bottle. Slight sweet malt aroma. Copper color with small head. Very light flavor - caramel malt. I don’t know what happened to Abita - seemed to be a lot better 15 years ago. Seems much weaker now.

Oxidized copper color with a thick, yet fading head. Mild caramel malt aroma with the same flavors. A touch thin in body. An average vienna.

Medium Amber color, medium head. A medium bodied amber ale. Malty and slightly hoppy. Nice flavor. Good taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty and slightly bitter..
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear yellow to copper color. Doesn’t seem even close to amber in color. Thin head. Weak aroma. I smell almost nothing. I taste some really nice hop bitterness that pushes it out of style a bit. There is some caramel flavor notes that are a little less sweet than I’d expect. Nice light beer that kind of misses the Amber Lager style. Really could use more body.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle (12oz). Poured slightly hazy orange-amber, decent fizzy off-white diminishing head. Pretty nasy aroma of vegetal sour malt with a hint of chocolate. Taste is not bad - nutty grain, some light vaguely roasty malt, brackish finish. Mouthfeel is dry and watery. Not recommended.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
One of the 12-oz bottles sampled from the Abita Party Pack, acquired from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear light amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin white ring and no lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, some grassy and citrus hops and a touch of toffee. Taste is light bodied, well-carbonated with some caramel malt and citrus hop flavors. Finish is a little thin and watery with a light caramel and metallic aftertaste.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Copper colored with a rather thick head. Faint malt aroma. The flavor was unfortunately rather bland and there is no risk of it offending anyone. I like to be challenged a tad more by a beer that touts being a micro-brew on their label.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: NOV 29, 2004 Nice sized white head. Very smooth with some bread and malt taste. However, as hopscotch said, thin and somewhat bland. Overall, a decent beer for drinking quickly. Better than most macros. Has notes of wheat bread in the aorma. Nice light taste with bread and metallic notes. Not a bad session brew.
