| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Feb 13, 2002 Damn great appearance, hazy but ’clear’ deep golden, thick white foam. Disgusting ’Abita’ vegetable crap aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavors, crisp, light medium body. Slightly wet. Clean, light finish with more of the Abita stench.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Bottle shared with barrios at woody’s courtesy of our beer rep. Thanks Jonathan! Pours a clear golden amber with minimal ring of white head. Aroma of light butter and grain, and corn adjuncts. Flavor is corny, and biscuity with hints of caramel. Not bad, just kinda boring. This strikes me as a Budwieser with a heavier grain bill and thicker palate. But certainly a good easy drinker for mardi gras! kiefdog (1629), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2009 12oz bottle from package store in New Orleans. Pours a generally clear copper color with a white foamy head that settles slowly and laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of grass, hay, yeast, sour overripe fruit, some hints of honey and hay. Flavor is sweet and somewhat malty with notes of grain, yeast, bread, some fruit and nut flavors. Generally light body with sour and unpleasant finish. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a dense 2 finger off-white head that faded fast but still left spotty lacing. The nose is light caramel malt and grassy hops. Taste is pretty much the same with some nutty flavor mixed in. Lighter mouthfeel. Just like most Abita brews – uninteresting. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 21, 2006 From a twist cap stubby brown bottle with a notched best before date along the left side of back label.
Poured a hazy copper hued orange with a foamy off-white head that settled into a thin lacing.
Aromas of faint grape fruity esters and bready malts.
Moderate carbonation and a softly crisp, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.
Very malty tasting, toasted caramel and bready malts with a touch of sugariness, fruity esters, a light, soft spicy hop bitterness, a slight warming alcohol presence towards the end and a dryish sweet malty finish, a nice smooth drinkability.
A decent bock, mildly tasty and quite quaffable.
