12 oz bottle sample. Many beer lovers have been critical of this beer, but I am of the opinion that this is a good choice as an Anniversary beer, and is a very well done example of pilsner. Stylistically, this beer is a very accurate example of the style, with a good balance of malt and hop character. This beer pours to a beautiful, bright, golden color, with a bright white head, and a good carbonation. The nose on this beer is very inviting, with good herbal/grassy hop aroma, paired with some crisp pale malt aroma. The body is crisp, and clean, with good pale malt flavor, on a smooth and round body. This beer finishes with more crisp malt flavor up front, then ends, with a mild, grassy, hop bite that balances. Excellent pilsner, that is very drinkable, and very food friendly. Would love to see this one become a regular in the Abita line up.

Apr 14, 2008 Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet caramel, touches of apples, some dry straw and hay. Tastes of sweet malt, lightly fruity, some peppery splashes and a semi dry finish.

Mar 9, 2008 Pours golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, lightly herbal. Smells close to a noble hop, but there’s a bit of hop fruitiness. Taste is herbal, notes of cookie, bready malt, light hop resins and toasted malt. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Probably the best beer from Abita.

Feb 27, 2008 I cant find my self enjoying this too much. Its too thin and the malts are uninspiring. for a special anniversary ale, its not too good

Feb 27, 2008 The aroma has corn malt, and floral hops. The appearance is hazy gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall it’s so so at best.
