Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sour, vaguely skunky and reminded me of rotting berry. The flavor was vile artificial berry and bad pale lager. The sugary artificial berry flavor lingered.

Pronounced aroma of butter, with a little cream and hay in the background. Slightly cloudy yellow pour with a medium creamy head. Some glass coating and nice rising streams of carbonation. Very sour strawberry taste at first which mellows by the end of the glass to a more sweeter non-strawberry taste. Virtually no finish. It’s a nice drink, but not very beery.

Bottle: Massive white head atop of one of the worst colored ales I’ve ever seen. Looked like fruit juice, maybe peach? Nose is malty and soapy, hints of fruit. Bubbly on the tongue with wheat, malt, sours, and the subtle fruit flavor of a watery wine cooler. Couldn’t stand to finish this one.

Bottle: Rich brown pour with a moderate beige head. Thick lacing. Nose of malt, light roast, toffee, and coffee. Tastes creamy with roasted malt, light chocolate, caramel, and a few bitters. Very drinkable brown ale.

Medium raspberry aroma. Hazy orange gold color with no real head. Starts with weak raspberry. Weak body, pumped up a bit as the fizziness fizzes. Weakly sweet. Finish is rather weak raspberry seed. Overall it’s fairly refreshing. Likely to be good around the pool.

Va BF 07. Draft: No aroma. Brown color, thin head, but good lacing. Deliicious molasses flavor, leaving nothing on the palate.. Good mouthfeel. Not complex, but quite enjoyable.

Bottle. Nice barley malt aroma - mild hops. Hazy yellow with a nice big head. Barley malt and light pine hops flavor. Nicely blended. This is a very nice beer - much better than most of their current offerings.

12 oz bottle...2007...pours a pale straw color, a nice little frothy off white head....strawberry aroma not very strong...an undertone of sourness...totally smells like a strawberry kids cereal!!!...fun...palate is delicate and well balanced...nice strawberry flavor on the front...the back ends like a miller lite...pleasant...:) So I got curious and added a guinness to the abita...and its really really tasty, highly recommend...."No doubt, add a stout!"
