Commercial Description:
It may sound nuts, but most ales with nutty flavors or aromas are made without any real nuts. Abita Pecan Harvest Ale is made with real Louisiana pecans. The natural oils from the nuts give the ale a light pecan finish and aroma. It’s wonderful paired up with both red meats and seafood - and no suprise it’s great with nuts too. Abita Pecan Harvest Ale, crack one open for yourself today.

Pours copper, off white head. Aroma, fileld with pecan nuts, malty. Taste is the same, some nice touch of pecan, very malty, caramel, some floral hops. Aftertaste is hoppy, with light chocolat malts. Pretty decent offering.

12oz bottle. Malty aroma, can smell pecans just slightly a little nuttiness. Nice copper color, white head. Metallic flavor to it, a little malty. Not much to it.

Pours copper with a one finger fizzy tan head. The nose is malty, kind of cornish, a little nutty, not too appealing but not as offsetting as I expected. The flavor is malty, also nutty, a tad sweet, some metallic hoppy bitterness. The palate is a tad crisp doesnt offer much. Not as disgusting as I expected.

Sampled at Hills Market beer tasting. Pours a dark orange-brown color with a medium off-white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing. Aroma of pecans and pralines, plus a little malt. Medium-bodied with a sweet and nutty character. Some malt and chocolate flavor as well, but none of the flavors really shines. The finish is short and nutty with a light sweet spice aftertaste that is reminiscent of pecan pie. Overall, whether your pronounce it ’peh-kan’ or ’pea-can’, this beer is barely average.

No head, cloudy brown copper color, no lacing. Sickly sweet aroma, reminiscent of pumpkin. Gross sweet nutty flavor, tastes sort of like a diaper smells. Another weak effort from Abita, why do I even try anymore...

bottle - Pours clear almost orange in color. It has a light malt aroma. The flavor is pretty much all sweet malt. It’s just a little nutty. Light bodied and smooth, this beer is average is pretty much every way.

Clear amber pour with a small foamy head. Aroma is light roasted nuts and malt with a touch of caramel. Flavor is lots of sweet roasted malt with just a touch of nuts and brown sugar on the finish. A pretty average beer until the nuts kick in, and that raises it to just above average.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Doboy. Aroma - Brown sugar and nuts certainly quite evident, hints of spice. Appearance - Clear amber, substantial off white head tha lasts well, although lace is sparse. Flavor - Sweetness of the malts comes through initially, flavor is rounded out by a soft bitterness that has a light peppery character. Palate - Medium body, light carbonation, fairly smooth, but with a mildly syrupy character. Overall - I wasn’t expecting much from this beer, but all in all, it’s not too bad. Some sticky sweetness, but I think that is intended, and it seems to fit well for the season.
