COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Amber "Ale" is made with a blend of pale, munich, and caramel malts to give the beer an intense malt flavor. It is also liberally hopped to give the beer a pleasant hop flavor and aroma. The result is a fairly strong, malty beer with a good balance of hops.

FishManLA (337) - Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA - DEC 13, 2009

The latest Abita "Select" as of this writing. On tap at the Abita Brew Pub in Abita Springs. A deep amber color with a fairly large off-white head with good persistence and moderately thick lacing. Nose is rich with bready malt aroma. Taste is rich, sweet, and distinctly malty. The commercial description mentions "hop balance". Well, if by balance they mean a malt monster with little hint of hop, then it’s accurate. Rich and flavorful, but I detected very little, if any, hop. Mouthfeel is creamy and rich. Finish is sweet and is combined with lingering creamy sensations on the tongue.
