COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Abita Golden is a crisp, clean continental lager. Just four ingredients is all it takes: American malt, Mt. Hood hops, German lager yeast and pure Abita spring water. As the name applies, Abita Golden has a brilliant gold color.

Bottle - pale yellow and slightly cloudy. Has a light citrus taste to it and it has a watered down finish. Nothing special about this beer.

callmemickey (702) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 15, 2012
Reviewed from notes (2008). A: Thin straw yellow color with a non existant head... S: Faint malt aroma with a passing hop highlight T: The taste matches the aroma exactly... not terribly complex... but pleasant malt flavors nonetheless M: Smooth and refreshing... light-medium body.. medium carbonation O: An ok session beer.

tronraner (2428) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - OCT 25, 2011
12 oz bottle. Pours clear yellow with small white head. The aroma is subtle and malty with some fruity notes. The flavor is light crackery malt with a little bit of grassy hops. Finish is a tad watery. Smells better than it tastes.

piscator34 (1579) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - OCT 12, 2011
Bottled sample. Pale gold in colour with strong carbonation. Aromas are of pilsner malt, clover honey, white bread dough, and a touch of earthy hops. Muted pilsner malt and mineral flavour, along with some sulfur and grass. Mouthfeel starts creamy before a clean mineral finish on the back end. Nothing special, but not all that bad either.

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 31, 2011
Bottle from sprint mart. Pours dark golden with a thin white head that goes poof as soon as you turn your back. Not much on the nose except a bit of corn. pretty bland taste, slightly metallic finish.

DrSilverworm (696) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 31, 2011
12oz bottle, purchased from Party Source for $1.45. Totally clear lightish yellow color, good head fading quickly to minimal, some lace. I just had the Abita Light before this, which I was pleasantly suprised with, but this one isn’t doing the same thing for me. It lacks that pleasant citrusy sweetness, this one is just light skunk, bread, water (although I am seeing the hint of spicy hotness that someone else suggested). Some bitter taste. Drinkable, with a good texture and crisp, smooth carbonation. Noticable aftertaste, which is kind of unfortunate.

oh6gdx (15501) - Vasa, FINLAND - JUL 5, 2011
Bottled@Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is malty, bready and some slight grassy notes. Flavour is much the same. Refreshing, but rather boring and watery.

lcwakshul (243) - Chester, Maryland, USA - MAY 31, 2011
12 oz. bottle in a shaker. Clear golden pour with medium head and high carbonation. No distinct aroma. Somewhat flavorless, but kind of refreshing. Wouldn’t choose to drink it regularly, but wouldn’t mind it on occasion.
