Cornfield (4409), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Nov 8, 2005 A drinkable enough golden/yellow ale, a light, sweet malt aroma with some earthy hop scents. I wouldn’t have guessed that Abita used Cascade and Centennial hops in the brew, all hop presence hardly noticeable in the mild, sweet drink. Still, I’ll have no way putting away this golden ale, and be happy knowing that I’m contributing some relief money to the great city of New Orleans while doing so.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=2069><u>DiCarlo’s Armanetti, Willowbrook, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />
Hance07 (187), DownSouth, Georgia, USA Nov 26, 2008 Pours copper with small offwhite head. Flavor is slightly malty upfront with a fair amount of hops in the finish. Not at all a waste of money. blklab2007 (600), Connecticut, USA Nov 15, 2008 bottle labeled restoration ale poured a brassy amber color with a thin off white head that fell to a ring in the glass quickly. aroma has caramel malt, sweetness, and light spice. mouth feel is average and there is fairly good carbonation. flavor has a malted body with caramel, spices, and some minerals. finishes withlight bitterness and spices lingering.
CelticBrew (536), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Oct 25, 2008 Poured from 12 oz bottle a light and clear golden, forming decent white foamy head. Aroma of hops, malts and flowery notes. Flavour is sweet, almost lager like. Dry hops, malts, and straw come through. Decent, and clean beer. Thin mouthfeel, perhaps perfect for hot days and mowing.

JustinFromAL (81), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Oct 18, 2008 I agree with the last rater, tastes more like an APA and I think some of the new bottles even have APA on the label. Pours gold with an orange tint. Fruity aroma, would like a a little more hops in this, but all in all a nice beer.
