Jan 21, 2008 I found this to be quite refreshing. Simple and to the point, grainey cereal malt taste, with some refreshing citrus, and grassy hoppiness with a consistent honey flavor throughout the finish.

Jan 18, 2008 Stubby 12 oz. twist-off bottle, blurb and notched freshness date on the back label, sampled in a pint glass.
L: Hazy orange hued light golden with a frothy white head that leaves a good deal of ringed laced sticking along the sides of the glass.
S: Dash of lemon juice and orange pith surrounded by caramel grainy malts. Touches of sweet bread framing the edges. Simple, but effective nose.
F&T: Steady stream of micro bubbly carbonation gives the moderate body a softly firm feel, mildly crisp and dry. Lemon juice and sweet tangerines tasting hops that finish with a nice drying spicy bitterness. Subtle apricot in the middle. Honey grains and dry biscuits with touches of malt sugariness, the pale malts provide a nice backbone to the taste.
This is pretty much like I expect a good American Blonde Ale to be, nothing over the top while remaining clean and refreshing.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle. Very mild hop nose. Cloudy yellow. Subdued flavor, touch of bitterness and a sour finish. Drinkable palate, some bite.

Jan 11, 2008 What a strange name. Note to self: ’Need to find out more about this name.’ Pop the lid and rotten lemony aroma. Appearance of slightly hazy pale yellow American lager. Easy to drink, tho it does posses a few of the attributes of an ale. Rather friendly and pale lager like. Enjoyable with a touch of wet straw.

Dec 28, 2007 Bottle sample at a tasting. Hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma of floral hops, a bit of malt and a bit of citrus. Flavor of sweet malt, a bit fruity, with a mild and quite weak dry finish with hops and a bit of citrus. Body is too light. Rather boring.

Dec 17, 2007 A poor effort from Abita. Too bitter and with a bad, malty aftertaste. It’s also a bit too watered down.
