Apr 6, 2009 This beer type is obviously misclassified here. On the label, it states Helles - which is probably the intended truth. Clear golden coloured body with a tonne of bubbles rising from the bottom and sides. Thick tan head that stays afloat for quite a while! Aroma of fresh citrus, coriander seed, bright hops and an odd grassyness. Medium-bodied; Sharp malty flavours with a very strong and bright grassy and yeastie flavour. Aftertaste shows some citrus, a bit of curacao and some very mild spices. Overall, not such a great beer - but by no way ’bad’. I wouldn’t buy this again, but it’s much better than pretty much all of the other Abita beers I’ve had. However, I am disappointed of this brewery too jumping on the stupid large bottle bandwagon. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Falls Church (Tyson’s Corner), Virginia on 13-February-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 05-April-2009.

Apr 5, 2009 Pours a nice light yellow orange color with a small white head. Aroma is citrus, lemon, malt and yeast. . . kind of an interesting sweet and sour combo. Flavor was really kind of low key but sharp. Malty with some citrus background. Bit of a weird combo. not terrible, but not great.

Apr 4, 2009 Other than their root beer, this is one of the better products from Abita. It’s nothing complex, but it has a thick texture and a solid, malty yeast flavor.

Apr 3, 2009 Pours beautiful golden color with contrasting white head that is very creamy. Nose is faint, but has a macro-malty, lemony boozy quality to it. Palate has a sharp character, alcohol easily noticed right away, modest malt flavor, and nothing much positive for the mind to latch onto.
