Poured from bottle. Has a cloudy copper color with a small head that disappears quickly to leave minimal lacing. The aroma is malty with a definite nutty presence. It definetly has a nutty flavor but it has a bitter aftertaste and seems a bit harsh on the tongue.
As a big Lazy Mag fan, I find this a great compliment (imitation, that is). Abita isn’t too far from LM and is much older and more well established - but they share the same regional market. I’m sure the success of Southern Pecan had something to do with this (LA pecans vs MS pecans) but this pales in comparison. The pecan flavor is there but it’s nowhere as good as their old sstandby Amber.

Aug 17, 2008 Nutty aroma, Strong nut taste. Actually tastes and feels more like a brown ale than an amber ale. One of the best aftertastes I’ve experienced in a beer. Thoroughly enjoyed this

Aug 7, 2008 Not a strong aroma to me. Looks nice. This is pretty good. Nutty and malty up front witha bit of bite in the finish. Just seems to be too light. The flavor would be better if it were more pronounced.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with an off-white head that settled quickly to a ring. Sweet aroma of caramel backed with nuts. The flavor finds caramel, toffee, and some light pecans. Light body, sweet throughout and a tingly carbonation.

Jun 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear orangish amber body with a fizzy light beige head. Lots of carbonation. The nose is sweet and fruity with lots of honey and caramel malt. I can smell a bit of actual pecan, but I have to use my imagination a bit. There’s certainly a good bit of pecan flavor though. Lots of sweet caramel and brown sugar, it’s very reminiscent of gooey pecan pie. Rather short finish with just a touch of bitterness. The body is medium with a good bit of residual sugars. This would actually be a bit cloying were it not for the aggressive prickly carbonation that cuts through the sweetness well. Kind of a gimmick beer, but I think I like it.

Jun 18, 2008 Pours amber into the glass, with an initial off-white head that diminishes to a thin ring, leaving spotty lace. I had to dig to find the right notes in the nose... nuts (pecans?) overlay caramel/toffee notes, in an aerated way... not a huge bouquet, but more distinct as it warms. Doughy caramel malts predominate the flavor, with a sourdough finish... closing with a slight nut-bitter. The mouthfeel is thin, light and lively carbonated... not complex or heavy, but quaffable, and goes down well enough, especially in the summer.
