Why is this a Winter release beer? Cloudy gold color with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Citrus nose. Taste follows the nose. Thin watery mouthfeel. Light body. Short acidic finish. Not their best effort. Okay summer sipper.

Whole grapefruit nose. Clear amber, thick head. Honey, lemongrass, grapefruit. Bready finish. Medium body, easy carbonation. Really quite nice.

12oz bottle on 20th Jan 2018; my last beer of my Californian Odyssey (Dec 17-Jan 18). Drank out of a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass at my daughters. Hazy orange body, off-white affair on top. Citrus leanings in both the hoppy nose and taste. Tropical fruits abound throughout the flavours and the beer finishes with a semi-bitter fruity bite.

Tasty oyster stout from Abita, giving up a good mix of chocolate, anise, roasted malt, and a mild brininess on the finish. Gentle caramel sweet streak underneath, while a firm hop bitterness keeps the pint from growing cloy. Could use more pungent oyster salinity, but drinkable as all hell. Creamy texture is lovely, black-brown pour leaves modest lacing. Enjoyable brew.

Fairly clear light amber and copper coloured body with a thinnish, relatively soapy white head. Aroma of light tart citrus fruit along with some lighter cardboardie malts and a dash of brine and ending with some yeast funk. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong tart flavour at first of limes and lemons and a light malty characteristic that shows some bread and ends with more of the yeast flavour and a pinch of sweetness from apples and pears. Aftertaste shows some of the brine and a little of the yeastie funk and dry malts with only a touch of the lime tartness at the very end. Overall, a decent-ish gose with more of the flavours shown as dry citrus and brine and less of anything else, but especially complexity. Easy to drink, but not showing much throughout. Not really worth trying to find unless you absolutely love the style or want to try all of Abita's products. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$2,29 sampled at home in Washington on 23-December-2017.
