Commercial Description:
It may sound nuts, but most ales with nutty flavors or aromas are made without any real nuts. Abita Pecan Harvest Ale is made with real Louisiana pecans. The natural oils from the nuts give the ale a light pecan finish and aroma. It's wonderful paired up with both red meats and seafood - and no suprise it's great with nuts too. Abita Pecan Harvest Ale, crack one open for yourself today.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear roast red,smallfirm head. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Evident nutty/woody flavour that I assume is derived from the pecans, Low bitterness. A bit one-dimensional, and the malt profile is well simplistic.

(12oz bottle) Clear dark amber body topped by medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, nut, orange. Taste is medium sweet, but generally bland -- some malt, light earthy hoppiness, but nothing particularly flavorful. Light-medium body, light acidity.

Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin-lacing ring of white head. Aroma of grassy earthy grainy doughy malts and a hint of pecans. Body starts fairly dry and earthy with some mild bittering hops and toasty character toward an otherwise bland finish. An interesting concept, but could be done more like Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slighlty hazy amberish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of mainly pecans with earthiness, and caramel. Tastes of pecans, caramel, and some citrus. Tastes and body on the thin side.
