3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 16, 2008 12 oz. Clear copper with a medium and lasting head. Aroma is earthy nut and cocoa. Taste is toasted nut, and slightly sweet cocoa. Nearly medium palate is dryish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 ounce bottle, poured an amber color, aromas of bread, feint nuts, and some sweet malt. Flavor is the same, not much pecan flavor, was expecting a little more.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured into my pint glass a dark amber/orange with a big bubbly off-white head on top. Pretty good retention, and it leaves some nice sticky webbing as it’s sipped. Smells pretty bland and tame. Nothing really coming out of this. Some mild hops and some fresh breads.
The mouth is silky smooth and creamy. It could stand a bit more of a carbonation kick, but it’s decent. This is a very buttery beer. Tastes of buttered bread, and some mild pecan flavor. I was expecting this to be a bit more nutty. Finishes bready and a little drying. This wasn’t really what I expected, but it was decent nonetheless.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Semi-cloudy golden brown color, nice carbonation, nice small creamy tannish head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing. The nose is malty, slightly tangy, very slight nutty/pecan tone, and some caramel. The taste is malty, slight tangy/bitter, and caramel. Not impressed.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Amber with thinner white head. Nose is a nut based coffee aroma. There is flavor here but it’s bland. On tap a Shep
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours an attractive coppery red.. a simplistic aroma of apple, nuts, cinnamon.. metallic bite, little flavor, some nuttiness and vague spice coming through, watery, surprised by the utter dearth of flavor. Bad.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle. Pours light amber red with a small white froth. Aroma sweet syrupy maltiness, caramel and toffee, some metallic notes and just very sugary candy. Flavor starts sweet with some caramel and toffee before picking up maybe some nuttiness though its faint. A slight metal and bready finish. Light to medium body and a sharp carbonation. Another bad one from Abita
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle, Amber color nice head, but very little flavor. Expected more of a pecan taste. Very dissapointed
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. bottle to dimpled mug. Pours amber with medium white head. Bready malts and some dark fruits. Overall not as much of the pecan flavor as the competitor across the river, but has its own qualities, especially the very balanced sweet to bitter that I enjoyed. Worth a try.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours a medium amber/gold with a disappearing white head. Smells of some light nuttiness and bread, metal. Flavor is that of the same with a thin body...not much going on here at all. Drinkable, but overall pretty bland. I haven’t had much that has impressed me from Abita so far.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Vibrant amber, clear, thin to moderate sudsy off-white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation. Nutty nose, slight cereal mealy malts. Rather mealy on the tongue, malty, with a definite nuttiness.
Seems a bit dry, could be a touch sweeter. Mealiness gets in the way. Minor cardboard on the backside. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Overall just uninteresting. The Pecans need to be sweetened a bit more.
Falls flat towards the end. Uneventful, as expected.
