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.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Acknud. pours a pale coppery orange color with a small white head. Nose is faintly nutty. Thin watery mouthfeel. Taste is of weak malts and a light nut flavor. An ok session ale.

This amber ale poured with an off-white head that quickly dissipated. There is a pleasant nutty aroma, but the flavor is quite disappointing. There is a thin malt taste with a harsh bitter finish.

Thanks to Ian and Deana for this odd beer. Pours a nice amber color with nice white head. Big crushed nut and malt aroma. Light malty nutty taste. Kind of a novelty beer, I could not see drinking more than one of these.

Bottle from Tilley4. Anber with minimal head. Aroma has some buttery pecan like aroma, faint malt and not much else. Flavor much the same, pecan and overly sweet malt profile.

12 oz bottle from Pizza Port’s bottle shop. In the aroma, I find a very light nut aroma with a touch of sweet malts but it’s just way to subdued for me to appreciate. The flavor was identical to how I described the aroma since it was so plain and had little offer in the name of pecans. However, on a good note the color was a beautiful golden hue with a firm pillow of foam that was nice to gaze upon.

was really looking forward to this one. i mean...pecan beer, how cool is that? sadly, i was really let down. not that the beer is bad...just average. for all the hope i had about something resembling pecan pie in a bottle, what i got instead was an average amber with a syrup flavor. slight nutty aroma, but nothing that screams PECAN, and the pecan flavor was a little too sticky sweet. i tried not to rate this TOO low, since its partly my fault for havign such high expectations.

bottle thanks to jrob_21! i think this brew is getting a bum rap because of some of the other beers that abita makes. malty sweet aroma, woody and slightly nutty, although i don’t think i would have identified pecan - it’s got more cedar than pecan, and cedar would be a more believable beer flavor than pecan. relatively light-bodied and mildly flavored, a bit of astringency in the finish. interesting, and definitely not bad. certainly worth a shot!
