Abita Amber Lager

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Vienna

You know, I think I liked this one more than most people. Amber color off white head that disappears quickly. Nice palate with enough but not too much carbonation. Clean and easy to drink. I liked it.

Abita Amber Lager is a clear deep amber color with a thin off=white head. The aroma and taste are full of malts and a bit of caramel with minor hints of soy.

Poured and amber color with a moderatley sized head. Nothing outstinding about this beer. It was smooth and malty just as the description says but was somewhat thin-bodied. Not bad, but nowhere near the top.

Non dimemo malty aroma. Presents well in a glass with a fairly active head and nice warm hue. Decent flavor, light toasted notes. Decent palate, clean finish. Overall a very drinkable bier. I think it’s a bit too mellow and unintresting. Lagering definatly seems to effect this bier.

Several years ago I was introduced to Abita brew at a fest, and loved it. Pours a semi clear copper colour with a small head. crisp clean taste, moderately sweet malt character. overall a nice beer.

Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of dry malt, some straw, hay, touches of fruit, some sweet sugary hints. Tastes of sweet malt, hints of toastiness, some perfumy hints. Decent.

Had a bottle of this in a nice suite (Sheraton 4929) on Canal Street, at Harry’s party. Light malty aroma with a bit of sweetness in the nose, light brown sugar. Clear amber golden with foamy off-white lacing head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts and stays fairly sweet, with bit of brown sugar and raisin, caramel maltiness and a medium-light hop bitterness. A bit watery overall, but a decent quaff while socializing - and hey, it was free.
