Amber
Ahhh... Abita Amber. Nothing spectacular, just a good solid beer. I poured it into a pint glass. The beer was a crystal clear amber, with an inch of sand colored foam. Fair retention, the head faded down to a nice ring of foam around the glass. Little bits of lacing. The aroma was clean, lager-like, with sweet malts and caramels, and a mild bitter note. The taste is good, clean and crisp. Good body, nice maltiness. Notes of caramel, biscuit, and slighly nutty toasted malts. There is a nice, mild bitterness present. A good session brew, easy to drink. I could do several of these in a session, and have in the past. A good solid offering from Abita, and an excellent gateway beer for your average BMC drinker.
