Jul 19, 2008 Taste 7/8 Bottle (date not marked). Looks: Nice amber with a good head. Aroma: Strong grain and straw aroma. Whiff of sweetness. Taste: Medium bodied. Straw, gain, a small initial bite. Then evens into malt/grain. Finishes spicy. Finish could be a little more smooth. Occasional.

Jul 18, 2008 Lots of wood and grass in the nose. A good amber color with lots of carbonation and short lived head. Lacing was good from this bottle. A flat taste out of the glass, no noticeable carbonation as you would expect from the appearance. There is a creamy, smooth palate to it, but ends in some kind of collision between salty and poorly roasted malt. Abita beers have a distinct character to them. Turbo Dog, Purple Haze, and this amber have a unique flavor that is like no other brew, yet like all the brews from this brewer. It’s better out of the bottle.

Jul 18, 2008 A very nice beer indeed. Pours a pretty amber color with a lasting head. Aroma is faint but pleasant none the less. There is a very nice malty flavor to this beer, it is malty but not sweet. Very well done.

Jul 3, 2008 12oz bottle. thanks to my b-law josh. i appreciate his effort....poured a transparent cider brown with a thin off-white head....aroma of grainy and grassy muted malt. smells like a light cider....watery and diluted flavors of grainy malt lacking in flavor overall. semi-lively carbonation.....my first vienna rating though so props for that!

Jun 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with a large fluffy off white head. Grainy malt aroma with some fruity yeast esters. Carmelized malt flavor with carmelized malt flavor. Bit of grape and some spicey hops. Body is reasonably light with moderate carbonation. Finish is mostly dry with a bit more grape. Okay.

Jun 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber body with a small fizzy off-white head that vanished very quickly. The nose is very grainy and husky with an odd grape soda quality to it. Not a whole lot of vienna malt noticable. The flavor is pretty thin with minimal sweetness and a watery cereal grain huskiness. This is just way too thin and weak to qualify it as a Vienna. There might be a bit of darker malt, but it’s purely for color and not flavor. Mouthfeel is light bodied, thin, and fizzy with a short rather limp, finish. Overall, just a really really weak effort at a Vienna.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottled. Nothing terrible, just nothing fantastic either. Rather average except for an odd, flat bitterness in the flavour and finish.
