3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Abita Golden has a thick, creamy head, moderate to high carbonation, and a cloudy, golden color. Fine particulate matter is floating throughout. It has sloppy lacing. Aroma is almost non-existent, but a sour mash smell can be detected. Taste is good, with a sour dough, somewhat roasted flavor. The sour characteristic is inoffensive, however. Mouthfeel is heavy. Overall, this is a good beer, with much more taste and character than Abita Amber or Bock.

Aroma is mildly sweet grains. The flavor is mildly sweet malts, a hint of vegetables and a hint of hops in the finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20

Body light to medium, malty - lightly grainy and lightly sweetish, light grassy hoppyness. Finish is short to average, malty and lightly sweetish, light grassy hoppyness. Watery lager - that´s it.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
4/16/12. 12oz bottle. Slightly hazed golden pour with a small off-white head that fades and barely laces. The aroma is 90% creamed corn with touches of wheat malt and bread. Soft, bready flavor with small punches of orange and tart lemon, but not a lot. Very plain. Meh.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy golden pour a very mild hop and smoke aroma. Not a lot going on. The body was too thin for my taste with a slight skunk finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
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.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
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.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
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.
