3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Small shortlived head. Flowery fragrance. Taste of burnt sugar, smoke, hops and herbs. Appears to be a bit spiked with alcohol, that wasn’t necessary. Elsewise a decent ale, well suited for heavy christmas food.
1.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pours a reddish brown with a very small white head that dissipates quickly. Mild aroma of hops and a kind of sour funk. The taste has a sharp bitterness up front along with that weird funk from from the smell. Fades to a very slight toasted malt flavor. I can’t say I enjoyed this offering very much. The flavors just did not play well together.
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
On the fifth day of Christmas 2011. Pours amber with tan head whick quickly dissipated to a thin film. Aroma is caramel, spices and toast. Taste is sweet with a funky aftertaste. The funk is not good, it made this difficult to drink. It seemed that they a bunch of spices were mixed in and the end result was this. Very disappointed as Abitas other offerings are always decent.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sweet and lightly spicy aroma. Clear orange color with a small tan head. Moderate bitter and sweet beginning that fades in the finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Doften avslöjar blommig humle. Kroppen är klen men ganska intensiv och denne upplevs enbart i nån nanosekund för att sedan försvinna i vattniga lätt bittra toner. Den gör sig icke som en "lay back in the sofa- öl" utan fyller säkerligen sin roll som törstsläckare mellan köttbullarna bättre. Slutsats: Godkänd..men den har potential som Abita Brewing Co bör jobba vidare på.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Svag doft, salt skinka, aning metall ganska vattnig. Lite aska i eftersmaken
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle.
Reddish/amber with a small head. This was not a bad beer, but there was nothing special with this one, quite thin with notes of malt, some spices, bread and fruit. On the sweet side.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
355ml Bottle - Dark brown with some red tinges. Fruity and hoppy aroma with notes of caramel, pine and some metallic hints. Nicely balanced taste with notes of hops, pine, raisins, nuts and caramel.
