Abita Christmas Ale

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Covington, Louisiana USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Poured an amber/light brown with an off-white head. The aroma has some spice. The first taste is some hop bitterness, then becomes watery with some more bitterness. Not well balanced and nothing special.

Medium brown coloured and clear. Has an off-white head, medium duration. Aroma is mainly hoppy, us-hops, citrus, resin. Flavor starts light sweet and finish moderate to heavy bitter. Dry, creamy texture.

Bottle. I’m not sure why this is a "Christmas" ale. It was pretty regular tasting. The aroma was a weak hop with a hint of vanilla, and the appearance was dark brown, a burnt toast. The palate was as a silky textured light body, and the taste was a bit malty, but mostly a hop finish. Overall, pretty underwhelming.

Moderat hoppy aroma. Large, frothy, white head. Good lacing. Clear, amber body. Moderate sweet flavor. Medium palate.

light hoppy toasted aroma,brown/golden, clear, off white foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, dry nice hoppy finiah.

Bottle from systembolaget. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. MOderate bitter flavor. Dry and nutty notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Decent beer, pours a dark color. Aroma is flat, beer is okay and hoppy. The flavors dont meld together like they should. This isn’t what i would classify as a Christmas ale but, it is no way a bad beer.

Bottle. This is flat out disgusting. Clear rich copper amber pour with a nice but small white head. Aroma and taste is some sort of really foul spice - I can’t even place it but its horrible. Maybe something happened with this bottle. Ugg.
