Bottled, BB 4/3/06. Poured a clear, dim amber with a tall cap of frothy white head. Nose had notes of citrus and flowery hops, wheat, and bready pils malts. Flavor was a unpleasantly-constructed tapestry of grainy wheat, corn, sour lemon rind, bread, and tacky caramel sweetness... not bad elements in and of themselves, but did not work well here. Lighter-bodied. Palate was all over the place with sour notes, wheaty tartness, soap, and bitterness... again did not flow. Great cause, though.

Jul 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Medium to light amber pour with a decent small head and some lace. Aroma is biscuity, pale malts, nice fresh baked bread, toast, and some nice floral hops- seemed fresh. Pale malts balanced with a nice herbal and flowery hops- clean and crisp finish and a light hop bitterness. nothing crazy, but just a solid pale ale.

Jun 18, 2008 12 oz bottle...pours amber w/ a small white head, that fade quickly. Aromas of citrus, malts, caramel, florals. The flavor was light flavored citrusy hops, and a touch of caramel malts. The beer is really light w/o being watery...It is very sessionable as the dry, floral finish begs for continued sipping. Great session beer from Abita!

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle, thanks Deepsouth!! Pours a slightly cloudy yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma is of malts,hops and something funky. Flavor is a tad better than the aroma. Malty and hops are present...no complexity but as with most Abita beers I find it prett smooth.

Jun 5, 2008 12 oz bottle, labeled as Abita Restoration Pale Ale. Lightly hazed gold with an off white head. Caramel and wood nose, lightly floral, mild sweet orange. Light caramel and orange, some mild bread and butter. Finish transitions quickly to a dry floral tone. Not a winner.

May 27, 2008 Gold, creamy white head. Faint toasty citrus aromas rest on light floral caramel-like notes. Light floral citrus hops balance on soft sweet toasty malts. Just a kiss of caramel rounds it out. Light bodied, light carbonation, crisp, light bittersweet finish. Drinkable...
