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.

Received a single 12-oz bottle from oetiii in Antigo, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin film and white ring. Aroma of light multi-grain bread dough, some citrus hops, and some roasted nuts. Taste is light to medium bodied, plenty of carbonation, with flavors of light multi-grain malt, some roasted nuts, and a little citrus bitterness. Finish is slightly watery with a multi-grain malt aftertaste. I’ve had some intense pecan nutty flavor beers before (ie: Bertrams Hazelnut Ale), Abita’s Pecan Harvest is missing the pecan flavor.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber into a shaker. Aroma of nuts and malt. Flavor was more an amber ale. Very faint nutty flavor.

Nice light-amber pour with a full head and some lacing. Lots of nutty aromas, some chocolate malt and some mild spicing. Pretty light palate, vacant finish. Notes of almond, pecan, whole grain bread and corn. Overall, drinkable and nice for the season, but a far cry from fest beers.

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

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.

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.
