| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2009 On tap at Acme Oyster restaurant in Covington, Louisiana. Backlogged rating. Had a glass or two of this with Katie and my stepbro Justin while visiting New Orleans for Jazz Festival in April 2009. A simple session brew. One-dimensional caramel malt flavor profile with a bit of toffee and cinnamon spice. A touch of stale hops that finishes quite dry. Barrios (858), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 24, 2009 Pours an off-white head with legs and a pale amber body. Smells of caramel and hairspray. Flavor is caramel and some spicy hops. Finish has a little bitterness. Butters (1651), Virginia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 1, 2009 Pours a nice clear copper with good creamy offwhite head. Nose is sweet, grainy, and cardboard. Flavor is mildly sweet and apply with an old cardboard citrus hop to it. Lingering hop bitterness on the tongue. Not aweful, but there are much better reds out there. crajun (96), , Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Born and raised and La. and now transplanted this was my first Abita.
I had as the Abita Red Ale in a different bottle than pictured here.
I will definitely need to drink another to figure this out - It went down smooth, a little malty flavor - the finish has let me puzzled - not necessarily bad, but a light bit sour (others are saying metallic).
Will try again, but could be a good summer beer.. tdcritch (112), Missouri, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Nothing to special about this one. Your basic red ale. Pours a ruby color with no head. Very light body, easy to drink. Not that memorable. webbcreative (111), , Oklahoma, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 22, 2009 cloudy orangy color. not too much head. smells of hops, taste of malts but not very sweet, hoppy but not bitter, there is a peculiar flavor that i can’t quite pick out, still on the fence about it. seems like it would be a good spring time/summer brew. might have to try it again an re-review it during that time.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Poured a standard ruby brown color with a short fizzy off-white head that offered little if any lacing. The aroma was malty, lightly spicy and barely hoppy. The flavor was malty with some dryness that could have been from hops? Light spice as well. Thin mouthfeel, easy drinking. Decent.
