Extremely light amber. Light toast very lean almost watery. Not much carbonation. Can not believe its 5%. Easy to drink.

Pours golden with a thin foamy off-white head. Aroma of toasted bready malts, cracker crisps, caramel, and some cereal malt. Taste is bread dough, crystal malt, and a touch of cardboard. Mouthfeel is a bit watery with soft carbonation. Thin and rather uninteresting, but not a bad beer. Missing the big and bold malty flavors of a true Vienna. At least this is easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle. Clear red/brown body with a small whitish head. Slight aroma of caramel. Mildly sweet taste, drinkable, but nothing special.

Wowsers. What a let down. Is it just me, or do crystal malts skunk easily? The first brown-bottle skunk I’ve ever encountered. Aroma is sweet, skunk, and honey. Flavor is initially quite sweet, then hop grassiness, a nutty flavor, and not much aftertaste. A let down.

I was less than impressed with this one. A mild sweet flavor, drinkable. The aroma was grainy to my allergy ridden nose and not really there. The head poured large, off-white and lasted most of the drink. A nice true amber color was clear. Finish was short and slightly astringent. I would probably try/rate again in the future, but was not pleased with this particular bottle.

Faint aroma of sweet malts. Drank straight from the 12oz. bottle. Had this right after a Rogue Red Ale, and of course this was a lot lighter and milder and didn’t stand up well in comparison. I Should have had this one first. Slightly sour malt flavor. Very faint hops. Clean and refreshing but rather weak and bland. At least its drinkable.

Thanks to richbrew for this one. Bottle: Amber brown color with a medium flaky head, lots of carbonation; aroma is quite inviting. Taste is straightforward, light body, clean and crisp.

Bottle. Slight sweet malt aroma. Copper color with small head. Very light flavor - caramel malt. I don’t know what happened to Abita - seemed to be a lot better 15 years ago. Seems much weaker now.
