Commercial Description:
Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Light foam on dark yellow. Light juicy hop aroma; melon and grapefruit. Light malt flavour with lots of melon. A touch of pepper in the finish.

The beer I drank certainly didn’t say Fleru-de-lis on it and it had a totally different label. Pretty average beer, the label also said Pale Ale, not Blond Ale

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.

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!

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.

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.
