Commercial Description:
Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

12oz bottle labeled "Abita Restoration Pale Ale". Gold in color with a dense white head. Has a light smell of caramel and herbal hops. Taste is very floral, reminiscent of patchouli. Makes me think I’m drinking a hippie, and I have never met a hippie that I wanted to taste.

12oz - Abita has always had good beers, but never really great ones. This one had balance, enough hops, yet not overwhelming the other flavors present. The wood finish was a surprise in an enjoyable way. This is a next generation beer for them as I see it.

Pours copper-orange. Aroma is light, slightly floral and slightly citric. Flavor is nice and hoppy. Quite floral. Not too bitter. Good for a pale ale. For the record, by the way, this is definitely a pale ale, not a golden/blond ale as is listed.

Light foam on dark yellow. Light juicy hop aroma; melon and grapefruit. Light malt flavour with lots of melon. A touch of pepper in the finish.

Hoppy, floral nose. Amber color with moderate head retention. Crisp mouthfeel. The finish is layered with sweetness and slight bitterness. Abita needs to make this one of their staples.

12 ounce bottle glenville beverage. Hoppy which I like but I didn’t care for the citrus part. Looks nice, has a golden color. It’s ok, not in my top 10 by any means.

SOFT and clean tasting with quality hops helps enhance the appeal of this refreshing beer. too mild of flavor in every respect keeps the beer from being extraordinary. again more clean than fruity a decent chugger or i would tone down a heavy ipa on a hot day by combining the two. all in all ok.

Clear dark gold with a fleeting head. Nice but mild aroma of floral hops and pale cracker malts. Smooth medium body. Mild flavor of pale malts is lightly sweet. Has a mildly bitter hop bite to finish. No off flavors. Typical mild but drinkable Abita brew.
