bottle, pours light amber with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma is nice with the crystal malt very sweet smelling, some floral hops as well. Sweet doughy malt flavor with a smooth bittersweet malt finish. Not bad.

12 oz bottle from the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, Il). Pours a bit of a dark gold, just a touched hazed, with decent offwhite head that dissipates to a good film. Well carbonated, aromas are some decent bready malt with light biscuit and a spiciness to it. Initial is light bodied, light bready malt, light sweetness, with a faint spice and pepper. A little too watery and weak for me. Needs to pronounce it’s style, not cower in fear and lack flavor. Quenching, but lacking overall.

Has a slight taste of burnt barley. The cocoa taste can’t overpower the subtilty of burntness.

Draft. Pours amber with an off-white head. Carbonated with a yeasty nose. A tad on the sweet side with a light body. Average beer across the board.

Amber color with a medium off-white head. Light caramel malt aroma. Light malty taste, or perhaps malty taste-less since it was very light on taste. It’s ok, but it’s a little light on taste & smell.

Actually got this a a burger joint. It has a smooth taste and goes down easy enough. However, it did not have any knockout capabilty and is therefore rated as average.

On tap at the brewpub... and everywhere in New Orleans. Caramel malt aroma and a fairly strong malty taste. This isnt a bad amber ale. I would call it slightly above average. It goes well with a giant plate of oysters.

My first Abita rating! There will be many more to come. Caramel aroma with a bit of pine. Poors a clear golden amber, duh. Not much taste, a bit hoppy. Definitely not my favorite of the Abita Brews.
