At Markey’s, New Orleans tap: The draft handle said it was this beer, so I will just assume that it was. In any case, it poured golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly grassy and fruity. Taste is bittersweet. Like everything else that I had on my first day in New Orleans, it was drinkable, but not so much memorable.
