2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2007 I am not a big Abita fan. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a copper color with a large tan head. The aroma is sweet and lightly fruity with a slightly macro sour undertone. The flavor is sour macro tang with a sweet underside that is moderately bready. The finish is a bit chewy.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours an average cheddar orange with a slightly lively body and a thin but tall head of white. Aroma is malt biscuit and stale hops. Flavor is fresh hay and a touch of floral honey on top of a malted biscuit. Average mouthfeel. Not disgusting, but not worth more than a binge drink session.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Medium sized white head and fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. Fast-rising carbonation, transparent and a golden hue. Malty, hoppy, sweet and spicy aroma. Spicy, watery, malty, and an astringent taste. Smooth mouthfeel but thin. Light-medium bodied beer with sparse lacing.
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.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Shared with scottyp at woody’s. Pours a clear amber with minimal ring of offwhite head. caramel, toast, bread, lightly bitter, paper napkin. Not a bad beer for octoberfest style.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Fall fest from Abita, brown 12 oz twist off cap bottle. The bottle is short and stubby like other Abita beers I’ve sampled. This has some stiff competition for the style, including hacker. Twist off the cap to reveal aroma of sweetness hint, background of a strong ale and typical festive smell. Clear brownish light yellow, the head is small and white, and then rapidly fades to leave a ring on the top. Taste has a nice impact, not overwhelming with alcohol, but it does let you know it is there. Lager with personality. The end leaves a shallow bite on the palate and the ol’ uvula senses a hint of bitterness tho relatively mild and acceptable for this style. Well behaved and enjoyable. This is a good beer but I rate the following October fests higher; Hacker, Hofbrau & Schell. This is on par with; Penn, City, Victory & Flying Dog.

(bottle - 12 oz) Slightly hazy orange pour with a thin white head. Very mild aroma with some vegetable hints and some dry malts. Slightly sweet and rather balanced flavor with a little bit of hops trying to come up through the dry malts. Finishes clean and a bit watery.

Clear amber of color wtih a off white head. An aroma of malt, caramel, sweets and weak hops. A flavor of sweets, caramel, sweets and weak nuts.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear amber color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, herbal hops, and a touch of biscuit malt. Flavor is a lightly sweetened toasted malt with light esters. Light to medium body. This beer isn’t half bad.
