Jun 22, 2008 Abita makes good beer. The aroma was pleasant; the red color, clear pleasing to the eye, the flavor smooth, excites the palate from the first taste to the last swallow, best from a glass not the bottle to enjoy every drop. To bad this is a seasonal brew.

Jun 15, 2009 Another winner from Abita Brewing. This seasonal brew has a creamy head and a slightly bitter taste. Very enjoyable with fried seafood. Get it on draft.

Apr 2, 2008 A little better on tap than from a bottle. Served from tap in shakers at the Abita Brew Pub and Columbia Street Tap room. Served in bowl-shaped stem glasses at Acme Oyster House. Color is a deep clear amber/red. Pours with a modest quickly disappearing head that leaves light lacing. Nose is prominently hoppy and malty. Flavor is hoppy, malty with a noticeable note of caramel and more subtle notes of coffee, fruit and spice. This ale bears a similarity to Abita’s newer Jocamo IPA. I like Red Ale a lot, and I like the new Jocamo even more. I almost consider Jocamo IPA as Abita’s next evolutionary step, after Red Ale, in their quest to produce the American Ale Holy Grail.

May 28, 2006 Roast flavor with a caramel hint, agree that it’s like Killian’s but better. Certainly a bit watered down, but the flavor is excellent.

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.

Feb 11, 2002 I was expecting a little more, but overall I enjoyed this beer. Nice hoppy finish. Great reddish color. Not the best ale I’ve had, but well worth purchasing.

May 24, 2002 Not my favorite of the Abita line, but has an extremely distinct taste (even amongst red ales). I appreciate the aftertaste the most, but the falvor of the beer itself becomes tired after a while. It is a seasonal beer (the spring, after abita bock), and is definatley worth buying.

Sep 14, 2004 Updated: Jun 27, 2006The hoppiest of the Abitas, this is one sweet drink. Rich red coloring with solid carbonation and a respectable if short lived head, it has a good, tart aroma. There’s a pleasantly bitter mouthfeel with a full malty flavor. Clean aftertaste. Too bad it’s a seasonal brew. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.chuckscafe.com/> Chuck’s Southern Comforts Cafe, Burbank, IL<font size=-1>
