Comments
All-Around Good
Pours a light golden amber, with a thin white head. Some light lacing as well.
Nose is full of caramel and bready pale malts, with a very subtle and slightly grassy hop aroma.
Taste is crisp and clean, with the caramel malts giving a slightly sweet and bready taste, with a clean and crisp finish. Hops are slightly spicy and grassy, but overall bitterness is fairly low, and the finish is quite clean.
Medium body and moderate carbonation.
The Abita Amber is a simple but tasty take on a fairly classic style. Nothing extraordinary, but a very drinkable and all around good beer that would go with almost anything.
