Abita Light is uniquely hand-crafted using 100% all natural ingredients: malted barley, the finest hops, German lager yeast and pristine Abita Springs water. The result is the smoothest, most flavorful light beer you will ever taste.

Twist off cap from a short brown 12 oz stubby bottle. Dirty old water smell, but in a good way. Surprizingly, slightly hazy pale yellow appearance.Looks somewhat like many wheat beers I’ve tried. Wet eldridge straw flavor and palate. Cannot detect much bitterness in the nearly industrial flavor. Amicable carbonation. A background cardboard hint that is remenicent of Coors Gold or N/A. Finish is rather mild and well behaved. Unique washed out aftertaste. Overall, one of the more interesting pale lagers.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - NOV 22, 2007
12oz bottle-A golden body with a small head that dissipated into nothing. Aroma of nothing. A light mouthful that begins with nothing and ends with a slight spice on the back end. Really nothing to this beer except I thought it was very smooth.

ABR 2007. Grainy body and body without much going on. A little harsh on the finish.

Pour is ginger ale yellow-ish and highly, highly carbonated. The small ring of bubbles that was supposed to be head faded fast. Aroma is of pale, weak hops. Flavor is all you can expect from a light beer, mostly water, and high carbonation. Very very disappointing.

The only bad thing in the party pack. Light beer with earthy flavor......dirt ?. This has to be one of my least favorite light beers

MoreHead (355) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - AUG 2, 2007
picked up as part of a abita variety pack. pours clear with a gold tint, average head which diminished quickly. aroma is very light, maybe some hint of sweet barly. taste was thin and crisp, not a lot of depth to this one. not a horrible light, just not very memorable.

Smells terrible but great as a thirst quencher after mowing the yard or some other hot outdoor activity. Not much after the first gulp though.
