Poured and amber color with a moderatley sized head. Nothing outstinding about this beer. It was smooth and malty just as the description says but was somewhat thin-bodied. Not bad, but nowhere near the top.

Jul 19, 2008 Taste 7/8 Bottle (date not marked). Looks: Nice amber with a good head. Aroma: Strong grain and straw aroma. Whiff of sweetness. Taste: Medium bodied. Straw, gain, a small initial bite. Then evens into malt/grain. Finishes spicy. Finish could be a little more smooth. Occasional.

Jul 18, 2008 Lots of wood and grass in the nose. A good amber color with lots of carbonation and short lived head. Lacing was good from this bottle. A flat taste out of the glass, no noticeable carbonation as you would expect from the appearance. There is a creamy, smooth palate to it, but ends in some kind of collision between salty and poorly roasted malt. Abita beers have a distinct character to them. Turbo Dog, Purple Haze, and this amber have a unique flavor that is like no other brew, yet like all the brews from this brewer. It’s better out of the bottle.

Jul 18, 2008 A very nice beer indeed. Pours a pretty amber color with a lasting head. Aroma is faint but pleasant none the less. There is a very nice malty flavor to this beer, it is malty but not sweet. Very well done.

Jul 3, 2008 12oz bottle. thanks to my b-law josh. i appreciate his effort....poured a transparent cider brown with a thin off-white head....aroma of grainy and grassy muted malt. smells like a light cider....watery and diluted flavors of grainy malt lacking in flavor overall. semi-lively carbonation.....my first vienna rating though so props for that!
