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 surprise it’s great with nuts too. Abita Pecan Harvest Ale, crack one open for yourself today.

On cask @ Fire Works, Arlington, VA. Pours slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Clear malty aroma with notes of hops and fruit. Faint, spicy aroma with hoppy notes and a salty finish. Watery. Boring. A disappointment,

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 1/22/2013. Pours fairly hazy orange amber color with a 1-2 finger dense cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of caramel, biscuit, toffee, toast, brown sugar, nuttiness, floral, and light fruitiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt notes. Taste of caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, brown sugar, nuttiness, floral, and light fruitiness. Lingering notes of caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, nuttiness, and floral on the finish for a bit. Nice and well balanced malt and nutty flavors; a little mild on flavor, but very pleasant; with no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy and very smooth mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a good amber ale. Nice balance of flavors and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Pours cloudy, wood-amber with a tall tan head. Aroma is pecan, malt... Flavour is very nutty...bold pecan, almost peanut butter tasting...creamy. I really didn’t expect to like this...but I did. Nicely different and tasty.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy gold with a medium creamy white head. The aroma is pecan and fruity malt. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt and pecan flavor with nice light dry finish. A good amber from Abita.
