Bottle. Clear golden color, medium white head. Aroma of straw. Taste is hay, plain malt. Boring.

Bottle. Light amber, small to average and and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, some caramel and some fruitiness with light citrus hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, caramel and some fruitiness, light citrus hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish with some caramel, light citrus hoppyness. More caramel and fruitiness than bitterness.

12 ounce bottle that poured an orange color, aromas of leaves, and some resin, flavor is the same. Nothing special here overall but still better than a macro.

Gift from SJ. Not a horrible beer, but what I am noticing with this company is they don’t go the extra mile. Everything is just ok and too vague. Some notes of grain, hop and bread. It’s just ok. They always look better than they taste.

2012-03-16. Crisp orange body with a small beige head. Mild aroma, light leafy earthy hops. 6+ Flavour is similar, light leafy earthy hops and mild resin, modest bitterness throughout. 6+ Average bodied palate. Decent but milder than my preference. Six pack from a convenience store enjoyed by the hotel pool, NOLA

Bottle. Clear orange pour with a minimal white head. Nose is bready caramel malt. Palate is a bit light, carbonation is a bit low. Taste is bready malts with a hint of citrus. Just okay.

Golden color with a thin and foamy white head. Has a mild hoppy aroma and a light grainy flavor with a slightly sour finish.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Light hoppy aroma, a little grass, somewhat unique and very nice. Medium yellow brew with creamy white head. Taste is very light maltiness at the start with a modest grassy / dry hops in the finish. Nice.

This is a nice, light, hoppy ale from Abita. It’s a slightly hazed orange color w/ a small foamy head. Nose is bright w/ lemony hops. Light in both body and flavor w/o being watery, I could see this being quite satisfying on a warm Louisiana afternoon.

Multiple bottles while visiting New Orleans. This isn’t very good but it didn’t really matter because the oysters at Casemento’s were so fucking good. Definitely English-style and quite grainy. Passable.
