3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smell is okay. Quite yellow but a good appearnace. This is a pretty good lager. Dry beginning with a good malt middle and some hops in the finish. Quite refreshing. Would make a good session beer.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz. bottle. Very faint aroma. Slightly grassy with a bit of banana. Pours straw colored and quite cloudy with a very thin head. Fairly sweet with a crisp, dry finish. Does carry a slightly bitter aftertaste. Nice full body with lively carbonation. It’s nice but not enough to buy again.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is a good malt liquor offering from Abita Brewing. It has a thin head (typical for this genre), very cloudy (atypical) gold appearance, and a somewhat citrus aroma. The taste is not too harsh, but there is a pronounced alcohol presence. Andy Gator weighs heavy on the palate. Overall, it’s a fairly good beer to have, and would probably go very well with spicy foods, salad, and hogs head cheese.

Clear straw pour, nice head and lace, rising bubbles, yum. Sweet bready aroma. Nice carb, a sweet brew with light corny, biscuity flavor. A bit of hefe-type banana and cinnamon, with low soapy undertones. OK, light and refreshing.

On tap at Tyler’s. Poured golden with a very thin and dissipating head. Aroma was just not very good. To be honest it smelled like stale Busch light, but luckily the taste was much better. A surprising hoppy kick with a dry finish. I got two just because the glass was so cool and I got to keep ’em.

Beer pours slightly cloudy golden color with a big, retained egg white colored head. Aromas are somewhat faint with light honey and light fruit. Flavor is intially sweet. Finish is sweet as well and just a touch dry. Sweetness is restrained enough not to cross the line to cloying status. Havn’t had many mai bocks, so comparisons are difficult, I don’t think I would buy it again.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Got this because my son’s name is Andy and we shared it at dinner. Light slightly cloudy yellow with a small head. Very fruity aroma. Taste is like root beer. Sweet and highly carbonated. Finish is light and a bit watery but good.

This brew is alive with the spirit of mead. Way out front with the honey followed by lilac floral essence and green herbs in the background. Very mead like in flavor and smell. Nice slightly oily medium bodied mouthfeel here. Nice Beer. Thank You Abita. 2009 22 oz.
