Abita Amber Lager

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

It doesn’t get much respect, but I find it pretty drinkable. Fairly sweet, rich maltiness to it. Yes, it’s got a bit of cardboard in the finish, but not bad.

Draught in New Orleans. Pours a light amber color with thin white head. Aroma is somewhat grassy and sweet with notes of ripe fruit, malt, some hints of honey and corn. Flavor is somewhat malty with notes of honey, bread, grass, caramel and spice. Generally light body with a somewhat uninteresting finish.

Bottle shared with barrios at woody’s. Clear amber pour with orange highlights and solid off-white head. Nose of vinegar and sweet corn which follows through to the flavor and is joined by caramel and apple notes. Not bad, but I would take a modela negra over this any day.

Pours slightly darker than a macro beer. No head to speak of. Smeels sweet like sugar. Very watery, some malt sweetness. A copper/metallic twang.

This was a pretty big let down. Its way paler than one would expect. Some slight malts on the nose. Really watery and bland mouth feel. Nothing offensive about this brew, just very boring and bland. Bit of a disappointment to say the least.

Sort of a orange yellow golden color( a little pale). A nice head but it where did it go. Light malty smell of what there is a the aroma. Taste is not bad but there is not much there.

12oz bottle. Pours a light tan head that fades and a golden amber body. Smells of hops and malt. Fading caramel and bread flavors.

Bottle. Pours an orange golden body with a 2 finger white head. Sweet simple malty body with some light nuttiness and a hint of hop bitterness to finish. Sub-par.
