Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Clear copper with a bumpy but quickly dissolving head. Some esters and fruitiness come through in the aroma and flavor, with clean cereal/caramel malt and a tea-like mildly bitter hop finish, but kind of a thin mouthfeel. Basically more standard amber ale monotony.

Apr 23, 2007 an average irish ale. wouldn’t have picked it up without being on the journey. obtaining the lizard is the pinnacle of my focus. nice rusty hop flavors, dark copper color, light head and little lacing.

Apr 19, 2007 Botle Pint Glass, pours a clear bright light copper color, with a large head and decent lacing. Mild bitter hops, with a bit of malts maybe a bit of carmel notes. A bit of hoppy notes, in fact probably the hoppiest I have had from abita, Infact I believe this is the only abita I would consider to be decent. Nothing special but not bad.

Apr 7, 2007 Dry and bitter with a grainy aftertaste. Some decent caramel flavoring that’s quickly overpowered by the bitterness. I’ll be happy when this 6-pack is gone. eh.

Apr 4, 2007 Saw this at a local store and I’ve never seen it before, so I’ll give it a try. Nice red color with a froathy white head. Smell of malt and spices. Mouthfeel was a bit too watery, but could taste the spices, malt and caramel. Abita just hasn’t ever done it for me over the years, but I do support local brewers, so I’ll buy every now and then. Not a bad beer though, just not great.

Jul 1, 2006 A very nice hops and yeast aroma. More sparkling gold than red with little head. A nice hoppy bite and malty but abrupt finish, almost creamy. I guess I like Liberty Hops in a red. I would buy more of this.

Jun 27, 2006 Updated: Jun 28, 2006Taster from bottle, at the <a href=/events-detail.asp?eventID=3891>Balmoral Brewhaha. Nice amber taste with a good fresh hop head that usually isn’t fouind in a bottled beer -- not close to the new mown grass of a 3Floyd’s, but still fresh, a bit piney and balanced with the caramel malts. Had a tiny black taster cup, that’s about all I can say.

Jun 10, 2006 In a party pack with 5 other Abita Beers. Amber red with a think lasting head. Hops are about the only significnat aroma. Medium body, dry and a sharp hop finish.
