Not very smooth. Good feel as the beer lingers pleasantly. Acidic malt flavor.

12 oz. bottle poured into lager glass- poured fair amber brown, minimal head (x>1mm) dissolved to nothing in a minute, extremely light carbonation. Aroma of light malt. Hits the mouth with a very thin body, the malt along with a tiny amount of hops are detectable, finish is crisp. Slightly before what I would consider an average vienna, but it did help put out the fire when I added too much green death to my crawfish Po’ Boy I was munching on at the time- it all equals out in the end.

Probably my favorite Abita so far. I like the hit of caramel on the end. Still have a few to try.

Copper-amber with light, white head / Simple corn nose / Medium body, low carbonation with fair finish / Simple corn and honey flavors / I love New Orleans, and I love drinking Abita in New Orleans, but this beer really isn’t very good.

Has an amber color as the name suggests. Not a very good aroma. Flavor is decent, a sweet malt with a very mild bitterness. Not too bad overall.

Pours a clear amber with a crème head. Nose is like a pile of wet grass from yesterday that I let sit out on the front yard since then. Nasty. Over time calms down to a mere wet grass stink, but still... Flavor seems to be heavily influenced by a straw character. Feel is decent at best. Nice level of carbonation and a good liquid feel, but the flavor just kills any possibility of a positive experience here. Overall just a weak beer. Nothing at all good about it from my point of view. Avoid.

Ive always liked this beer, and perhaps it is situational, because it takes me back to the 1st time I had the beer in New Orleans over 15 years ago. Smooth and easy to drink, with some rich caramel notes, but a bit over-carbonated.

Pours light golden brown. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel with some corn. Light caramel flavor and not much else. Light bitter finish.
