2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught. Nothing outstanding here. Flat and boring with no real outstanding element to speak of. Certainly some crisp, sweet maltiness, not much hops to balance. Boring and unexciting.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Average fall beer, not a lot of love in here. Meaning they didn’t go over the top with any certain flavor. Nice malt though. One of the better abita brews that I’ve had. Good clean creamy finish.

Not too bad, but it’s been awhile (7 years at least).
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Disappointing. The beer has some sort of vegetable-potato-funky grain thing going. Orangish gold. Medium body. Long peanutty-potato, mildly bitter finish. Appearance dings for the label and the screw-off cap. Probably OK with food, but non-stellar by itself.

Bottle- I think that I have figured out their recipe for this beer: Mix equal parts Abita amber and water, bottle, try to pass it off as a fall beer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Barely amber, ok head that lasts longer than expected, light lacing. Light hoppy aroma. Flavor is nice balance between mostly malt and a mild hoppy finish. Bubbly and slightly creamy on the palate. Overall, a nice brew I would order out with dinner to complement the food without filling you up. Would go good with an oyster poboy.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
2001 bottle- Light gold color with a crisp, airy, somewhat sweet aroma- not much happening here. Mild hop bite at the finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very very good fall brew. Bock I think. Smooth and bitter- very good.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Slight roasted malt aroma. Deep gold in color, dissapating head. Malty, not unlike the Abita Amber. Has a nice aftertaste, but is a bit too malty and not different enough from the Amber. Abita makes average beers, in part due to its aversion to hops. The result are beers that rely too heavily on malt. A Fall Fest would have done well with some spiciness.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
An okay, but largely disappointing beer. Aroma and appearance are inviting, but the watery texture and less than full and complete flavor is a problem. Flavor is fading and altogether too weak. Sad.
