A clean, crisp, fresh beer, a little to light for me. Adequate malts and some hop spicyness.

Nice clear golden color (as you would expect considering the name). I like the aroma but I can't quite place it - it's actually slightly odd (but in a good way). This was a very good beer, which surprised me because I wasn't expecting too much. Very crisp, clean and refreshing.

This is a wheat beer that abita produces year round. Apparently the brewery intends on improving this beer in the next few months with it’s new machinery. I had no idea it was a wheat beer untill they told me, but oh well. At times, it is a bit more appeasing than the amber because it isn’t as sweet, but amber remains a better beer. It’s a bit thinner, but doesn’t leave that certain something to be desired like any other light beer. It’s less of a wheat beer than thier summer wheat, but has more body to it than the wheat.

This beer had more character than I thought it would. Gold in color, coarse white head. It had a fruity, hoppy taste that came together well....finish was clean and refreshing....not bad at all.

A very good lager. The aroma is very inviting and rich and buttery. Flavor is crisp, but not too carbonated. Palate is satisfying and a bit thicker than most mass market lagers.

Has a cloudy golden yellow with a proud finger of head. Looks more thick and chunky than a typical lager. Dry lager/pilsnery malt smell. Light but clearly all-malt. Bitter but mild (Hallertauer?) hops. The malt is of a very German-lagery variety. Sweetness to the bitter malt taste. The hops are an accent but they are strong. The taste matches the smell very well. It’s a nice lager, but much better than the typical pale macro fare. Feels light and bubbly; actually has the feel of a nice Belgian ale. A little spiky. It’s a light and easy drinking lager with some nice flavor. A good alternative to the stuff you might otherwise be drinking this summer.

Was not sure of the style when I purchased and did not look at the label closely, but when I openned this there was no doubt that this was a lager. Slightly hazy light golden color with a diminished dense white head. Pale malt nose with a hint of spicy hops. Pale malt flavors, with a light bitterness. A straight forward not pretenses type lager.

One of the better lagers I’ve had. Rich golden color with a thin head that dissiapted quite slowly, thicker mouthfeel than most lagers, very little nose of note, slightly malty taste. This wasn’t too bad.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, cloudy yellow color, good foamy head, very full mouthfeel, buttery with lemon and other citrus notes, nice

Cloudy dark yellow, thin what head. Wheaty, tangy aroma, with a touch of white bread. Tangy, wheaty flavor, fairly crisp finish. Nicely drinkable. BTW, my notes say Abita Golden Ale, but I didn’t save the bottle. Same beer?
