From a bottle poured an color with a fair amount head. Malty toasted flavor with a quick finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
I poured a 12 oz bottle into a goblet...
The beer pours an orange, copper color with a white head that quickly faded to nothing. It has a nice nutty, buttery, toffee aroma. The taste first consists of a light lemon flavor on the back of the tongue, a wave of butter, nuts and caramel washes over and leaves a nice balanced aftertaste. The beer is light with stinging carbonation and a bit of a sticky finish. I thought this was a well done bock, I could definitely drink this again.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
For me, this is a maibock that I really appreciate the color of this beer and the reasonable amount of head (for a maibock). The aroma and malt profile have a caramel/almond type taste in my opinion.
Good flavor profile...very maibock, but not to the same strength as a Paulaner or Hofbrau. Very drinkable and an excellent session beer, esp. for 6.4% ABV.
I really enjoy the water aspect of Abita...it has a unique base that provides a very natural aftertaste to the beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
it has some nice character to it, but falls short of being fantastic. malts are meduim sweet with a touch of nuttiness. slight hoppy bite
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy amber. Pretty sweet beer, lots of caramel to it. It’s not a great beer, but it went really well with the gumbo we had for mardi gras.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at The Royale on Mardi Gras. Pours a mostly clear orange-gold color with a small, sticky white head. There just isn’t much going on in the aroma- some Munich malts, grass, and sugar, but everything is so muted. Flavor of sweet and Munich malts, grass, toast, sugar, and a hard-to-place bitterness that comes off as a phenolic booze note. Light-medium bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, mildly bitter mouthfeel. Dull but drinkable.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I thought this was a nice bock beer that didnt taste like it had 6.4%. Very sessionable and light for the style.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Average run of the mill bock; I say this as a drinker that values novelty a little more than I should. Maybe a little more caramel to add flavor? I don’t know. Make this one stand out, please.
