3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: OCT 17, 2008 12 oz purchased from Jazz City in NoLa. Aroma is sugary maltiness. Hop profile is barely existent, save for a wisp of bitterness. This may be an old bottle - the place was a gift/liquor/beer/t-shirt store. Still, this finishes smooth and buttery - a save from an otherwise bland beer.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.49 Very good.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
It pours a coppery orange pour with a really creamy, thick, and long-lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with a bunch of hops. Taste is malty and doughy at first then it goes to getting moderately hoppy. It gets to be the most bitter at its finish. Palate is nice and creamy with a medium body. Pretty good indeed. Too bad that my friends drank almost this entire six-pack.

12oz bottle. Fresh. Mellon orange pour with a nice layer of lacy white cream. The aroma is juicy hops, kinda creamy smelling. The flavor is hops, that are kinda juicy, kinda spicy, and then there are creamy caramel malts that leave a toasty finish. I don’t know that anything here is bad, but I’m not enjoying it.

12 oz bottle all around ATL. Pours a yellowish orange with creamy white crown that has minimal-to-moderate retention and very little lacing. Aroma is full of citrus and fruity hops, very unique and likable with a slight malt undertone. Flavour is aggressive at first taste with initial hop bitterness all the way through the taste to the crisp and somewhat bitter finish, but there is a good malt backbone to support the hops. Very decent drinker with moderate carbonation that does not interfere with the taste profile. There is some sweetness in the malt that offsets and balances the hops in the beer. This is much different than a West Coast-style IPA, which is a very good quality for this beer. I’m glad I can get it here in Atlanta, as it’s a safe choice and a reliable drinker for the price. Best beer Abita brews, in my opinion.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is a pleasant IPA - more bitter than most. It pours a nice gold color and has a unique taste - citrus? for an IPA. It has a malty flavor with a dry finish. Not my favorite IPA but I give it credit for originality - I will certainly drink it again.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber color. It starts with a quite nice hop aroma, almost fleshy, meaty; then it turns more into toffee. Medium body, with a sweet toffee flavor, soft mouthfeel, strong but not aggressive bitterness. The hops show both some resiny and fruity character, but the final gets a cookie character too. An original American Pale Ale.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold in color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and floral with hints of hops, honey, citrus, and grass. Flavor is very mild as well. Some floral hops at the beginning with a bitter and hoppy middle and a bitter finish that lasts for a bit.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From bottle. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Smells like warm sweet citrusy honey. Flavors are mild and well balanced with more malt than expected. Would not guess it’s ~6.5%.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle from total wine. Orange color wtih an off white head. Aroma is sweet and sticky for an IPA. Taste is watery, too sweet and too malty. This one would be so much better with some more hops. This one is overrated IMO.
