Mar 16, 2009 Thanks turdferguson for sharing. Pours a translucent light copper with a one finger head. The nose is sweet and bready, nice malt profile, caramel, grassy hops come through, nice phenolic sharpness. The flavor is mildly leafy up front, some hop bitterness, malty, sweet, bready. Palate is softly carbonated with a mild bitterness. Very drinkable.

Feb 21, 2009 Draft. Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Aroma of pale malts, grain, and some light caramel. Flavor is malty sweet with caramel, grains and a touch of hops with a medium body and a dry bitter finish.

Jun 27, 2004 Bright yellow with a thin white head. Skunky, lightstruck nose. Grainy, gritty and otherwise tasteless. Nothing bock about this one. Another thumbs down for abita.

Aug 7, 2008 12 oz. Burnt orange with a small lasting head that leaves some nice lacing. Grain and sour apple aroma. Flavors of molasses, sour apple candy, grain, dry grass and alcohol. Light-medium body is mildy carbonated and finishes dryish.

Jun 26, 2006 Taster at the <a href=/events-detail.asp?eventID=3891>Balmoral Brewhaha. Got to this pretty late in the evening, while I was pouring. So my notes are a bit sketchy. Couldn’t gather too much of the smell, only that it was a fine "beer" character. Taste turned out to be rather yeasty, surprising for a beer that I would presume to have been pasteurized and carbonated… or is it? Still, some fine dark roasty malts and a contrasting German hop profile make this a solid example of the style.

Feb 4, 2008 A decent heller bock. Aroma was mostly caramel malt with a faint hoppiness in the aftertaste. Pour was a nice deep brown with a one finger off white head. Taste was very sweet. Mostly caramel malt with a sticky sugary aftertaste. Nice carbonation and mouthfeel. Not bad.

Jun 2, 2005 Pour is a nice orange with a white head. Aroma is faint hops and malts. Flavor is almost to faint to even get a good rating. Theres malts in there but they do not even stand out. The beer looks great but is blah after that.

Apr 27, 2004 corny, almost vinegary nose. Sweet corny flavor, Sickly sweet finish. Bah. Body is OK, but I'd like it a bit heavier.
