Abita Amber Lager

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Vienna
Covington, Louisiana USA

Bottle. Pours a dirty dark redish color with a whitish head. smells like sewer water. Taste is bum urine on a dirty piece of cardboard in detroit.

Good, basic everyday beer. Much better on draught. A little watery to be a favorite, but as noted in other ratings, is made with exceptionally nice water. Has a certain sweetness to it, but more of sugar than malt. Nicely balanced hop wise.

All I can say is, thank god abita uses good water to make their brews. It is the most prevalent marker. Clear, crisp refreshing, yet very watery. Small amounts of malt in this weak amber.

clear dark brown with a decent rooasty, mallty flavor. Nothing special, but not offensive

Pour is a clear brown with a small head. Aroma could use some work but you do get some faint whiffs of malt. Flavor is much better. Lots of roasted carmel malts with a touch of brown sugar. Overall pretty bland though as the flavor does not make up for the lack of aroma or the weak look. If you going to try a Abita beer, try the turbo dog.

A hint of hops in the beginning with a somewhat malty finish. Nothing offensive, but it’s kind of bland. Nothing stands out at all.

Cloudy amber color. Hops and wheat and corn. Fairly average tasting ale, but it did have a little extra flavor with a slight caramel note. Not too exciting, but not bad either. [$6.29/6pk]

Had this in a bottle and it tasted really buttery; enough so that it was tough to finish. Had it later the same day on tap, this was much milder. The basic flavor was the same, just less overwhelming, more balanced.
