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.

12oz Bottle: Amber body w/ a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma & a sweet malty flavor to go w/ it. Slightly bitter finish. Not much going on, nothing more to say here.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a small orange-white head. The aroma was sweet and tangy with an undercurrent of sour nut. The flavor was bitter and tangy with notes of maple and nut. There was a long oily nutty finish but the bitterness overwhelms the nut too much for this beer to be craveable - bonus points for inventiveness though.

Bottle from BevMo.Medium amber/orange color upon pouring. Malty aroma with some sweet pecan. Crisp beer with a solid malt backbone. A little bit of hoppiness. The pecans round out the beer pretty well, I think.

I love ambers and enjoy experimenting with the variations of the traditional style. Lighter color than expected with a whimsical head. Many flavors make up the complex overall taste of this beer.... possibly too many. Nice nutty small and finish to the sip... hop and malt balance is good but mouthfeel lacks a bit... a bit too thin for all the flavors there. This may contribute to the lack of lingering flavor...

Bottle sampled. Pours a orange/amber with a small white head. Aroma of pecans, caramel malts, biscuits, and a hint of toffee. Slight pecan flavor with toasted malts, caramel, toffee, and some light earthy hoppiness and has a dry and bitter finish.

A different amber. I really like this.Aroma of nuts and not much else. Pour was a nice hazy orange with a one finger head that leaves instantly. Taste was very...well...pecan-y with a nice mix of light malt and a bit of honey in the aftertaste. I wouldn’t describe this as an amber ale, but it is damn good.

Thanks to my SS for this one. Pours a clear copper body that supports a chunky head of off-white. Caramel, nuts and honey aroma. Thin oily body. The flavor is light malt with just the slightest bit of bitterness towards the finish. Simple, bland.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear roast red,smallfirm head. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Evident nutty/woody flavour that I assume is derived from the pecans, Low bitterness. A bit one-dimensional, and the malt profile is well simplistic.
