third abita I’ve had tonight and they all smell bad. Nice big tasty head on this one. A pretty good amber, probably because it’s a vienna.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber body with a small fizzy off-white head that vanished very quickly. The nose is very grainy and husky with an odd grape soda quality to it. Not a whole lot of vienna malt noticable. The flavor is pretty thin with minimal sweetness and a watery cereal grain huskiness. This is just way too thin and weak to qualify it as a Vienna. There might be a bit of darker malt, but it’s purely for color and not flavor. Mouthfeel is light bodied, thin, and fizzy with a short rather limp, finish. Overall, just a really really weak effort at a Vienna.

Nice light copper colour with a proper one centimetre thick off-white head. Mild malty aroma, nothing too superb. Medium-bodied; Creamy mouthful; Short malty taste showing a few other characteristics, but really...not much. Aftertaste has just about nothing, only a subtle maltiness. Overall, this is one of my least favourite Viennas, and it's not recommended by me! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

12 oz bottle from sampler pack - Pours amber with a decent offwhite head. Aroma of carmel malts. Flavor is of caramel malts and brief hops. A slight metallic aftertaste kills the flavor of this one though. On the palate this is medium bodied and fairly crisp and clean.

Not bad for an amber. Very malty, but not too overpowering in it’s, uh, maltiness. Especially refreshing on Bourbon Street.

Pours a clear amber-copper color that is topped by a frothy, almost creamy, light tan colored head. The aroma is fairly bland with hints of crystal malt, and perhaps just a wisp of spicy hoppiness. The taste is soft and smooth, quite light and it has an up front light caramelized sweetness. The finish is lightly spicy and a bit bitter with a balancing hoppiness. This is really a rather bland Amber Ale, not really much to say.

Sampled this at the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival. nasty. golden color with a distinct corn aroma. And that’s about it. Do think I’ll try this again.

I remember that this was the only beer I drank while in New Orleans and I had it on draft and it was good. Then I tried it again in the bottle back in Atlanta and it was only ok. It’s got a nutty flavor that kind of reminded me of Michelob, except a good bit better. It’s a good beer for the price.
