Pours with a small, foamy, white head that fades over a hazy, penny colored body. Aroma of light citrus hops,tangy orange, caramel, soggy malts and pine nuts. Taste is a bit bitter, without any good flavor hops. Caramel and watery. Not complex or interesting. Just a brewer going through the motions. Dry and fizzy.

22 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear gold color with a huge head. Decent head retention and nice lacing. Odd aroma is full of corn like adjunct notes and grain. Taste is grain, sweet malts and grassy hops. Full bodied. This is an odd beast.

Hazy amber. Thick head. Herbal, woody hop aroma is a little faint. Fruity-berryish hop character and fairly low bitterness. Poorly extracted malts. Kind of watery.

Small foamy white head over a clear, weak copper body. Some lace, but retention is lacking. Aroma is weak. Seltzer, honey, grass, metal, bread and dough. Taste is husky, slightly astringent, wet straw, a touch of caramel and corn. Really dry and thin. Fizzy. Not one of Abita’s better products (I prefer there Root Beer over this).

Is this the same beer that others have rated so low? 22 oz bottle pours a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, sweet, malt, hop, and grass. Flavor is malts, bitter hop flavor. The alcohol is masked quite well.

Very basic but nice hop aromatics and flavors lead to a very refreshing, clean and easy drinking IPA. Resin and citrus hop nose, mild bready malts. Medium body. Zippy. Copper color.
