Bottle: An orange copper pour with a nice beige head and good lacing. Aroma is citrus and piney hops, hints of grape. Flavor is citrus hops with a nice caramel malt. Nice little IPA. Thanks Chad.

Bottle poures a clear medium orange amber with small sandy colored head. Moderately hoppy flaovrs but not bright or sharp. Moderate malt body and lively carbonation. Thanks to Harlequin foe bringing this out.

Short stubby 12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap. Olfactory is slightly rotten Pennsylvania farm pond water. Nearly hazy pale yellow brew that looks almost wheat in nature. Fairly mild pale lager impressions. Somewhat like the Light version with a little more personality, of course. Decent carbonation, could use more. Cardboard is absent in this one. Not much alky flavors present. Finish is wet watery straw or hay. IMHO, comes on more like a pale yellow american lager, not a premium.

Twist off cap from a short brown 12 oz stubby bottle. Dirty old water smell, but in a good way. Surprizingly, slightly hazy pale yellow appearance.Looks somewhat like many wheat beers I’ve tried. Wet eldridge straw flavor and palate. Cannot detect much bitterness in the nearly industrial flavor. Amicable carbonation. A background cardboard hint that is remenicent of Coors Gold or N/A. Finish is rather mild and well behaved. Unique washed out aftertaste. Overall, one of the more interesting pale lagers.

Nice semi-hazy amber coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of nuts, malt, light hops and some sugars as well. Light-bodied; Shallow flavour of nuts, malt and very little else come to mind when drinking this. Aftertaste shows some fake sugars, a bit of malt and pretty much nothing else - no spices nor nuts/pecans to speak of. Overall, a pretty bad offering, definitely one to pass up, regardless of what you like. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 17-November-2007.

Bottle. Weak wheat taste and the fruit comes through as just a sourness. Not real fruity. Drinkable, but I don’t think this is as good as it used to be.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium mat-sweet caramel, nutty. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel, nutty, secondary/faint hops, some praline. A bit light body mid taste. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

The bouquet is roasted barley malt and steak well done, nicely combined. Hazy orange color, thin head, no lacing. Dry taste of lightly roasted malts. Somewhat biting mouthfeel that yields to a smooth unmistakable pecan finish. There are also fairly nice yet subdued hops in the background. The taste is only fair, but it is otherwise well done and unique. I wouldn’t drink it all the time, so it makes for a nice seasonal.

Bottle. Sour milk aroma. Medium amber color with large head. Slightly sweet apple and pecan malt flavor. Light body like most Abita beers. Nice flavors - nothing bad - just nothing spectacular and on light side.

Bottled (thanks Degarth!). Deep amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is caramel malts, some earth and hops. Flavour is very much the same along with grass and metal. Not very pleasant.
