Pineapple and vanilla in the nose.Pours a lovely soft gold with nice head and little lace, good retention. Mouth is quite full and a bit chewy. Flavor is citrus and some tropical fruit with a quite solid malt backbone. Nicely done, very good with Mexican food.

Nose: Pineapple, tangerine, lemon, lawn clippings. Medium gold, hazed, good white head, no lace. Mouth is a bit thin and a bit fizzy. Sour orange rind, lemon zest, funked up grass... finish is more like a decent pilsner.An odd duck but quite drinkable/sessionable.

Ripe dark fruit, and roasted malts in the nose and some cotton candy. A foggy brown body is topped with a moderate off white head with good retention and only a bit of lace. Mouth is medium and a bit creamy with perfect carbonation. Make no mistake, this beer is sweet! Deep ripe fig and prune notes are soon overtaken with cotton candy, amazing to think they add no sugar. 9.5 and is totally masked with only a hint of warming. Aftertaste starts sweet but ends dry and clean. Masterful Brewing!

IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT A LITE DRINK THIS INSTEAD AND THEY SEND A BUCK TO THE BIG EASY! Nice light yeasty aroma with a bit of violets, goes away fast sniff it while you can. Poured a big frothy head with moderate retention and very nice long-lasting lace. Body is slightly copper colored for a blonde ale but not unappealing. Mouthfeel is slippery water and very little tingle. Taste is timid throughout but pretty well balanced. Hits hoppy with a touch of berry and a touch of chemical bitterness. Finish is tart and crisp. Has just a touch of chemical in the after-taste or I would have scored it higher. This is a very drinkable session ale.

I suspect the bad reviews come from folks who are drinking this too cold! This brew is quite different once it warms to what I think of as English pup temperature then it is when fresh out of the fridge. When cold, this beer tastes to me like a slightly watered-down stout; mostly just bitter coal tar taste. Bring that bottle outta the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes before you open it and its a whole different animal! Pours very dark brown with ruby undertones present when held to light, not quite opaque. Pours with a nice caramel colored head that has only modest retention but delivers very nice lace. Nose of figs, coffee, and dark chocolate; a mild nose but nice although not long lasting. Mouth is medium bodied and, for a beer that appears quite still in the glass, quite frothy... the carbonation is very tight. When very cold this beer tastes nothing but bitter but when allowed to warm slightly the flavor really rounds out; the crystal and chocolate malts come into their own and balance the hops quite nicely. It hits slightly sweet, goes bitter, and finishes chocolate goodness with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Really a masterful job of balancing. There is a bit of a sweet-sour thing going own that reminds me of Belgium and may be responsible for the reviews that detected mettalic (its not!)This may be the only beer that I have given a higher "overall" number to then I did to any other category; not overly complex yet this beer is more than the sum of its parts. Well done Abita!

Almost no nose to speak of. Some lightly roasted malts possibly Crystal malts. light brown body topped with almost no head and no lace. The mouth is thin and tingly. Some vague hints of chocolate in the flavor some vague pear which is very odd for the style and a bit of a chemical aftertaste. A bit more Hoppy than one expects and lacking in that bread flavored component. If you have to have a two roads beer that I like. Anybody want five bottles?

Moderate short-lived foamy white head sits over a pale golden body. Lots of malt in the nose and a touch of vanilla and lightly burnt toast. Mouthfeel is thin and clean and, to my taste, a touch flat. The flavor is timid (it is a lager after all). Hits slightly sweet, which follows with an odd flavor from the smoke (reminds me a bit of smoked salmon...there is almost a slight fishy taste to the beer!). There is a decent, for a lager, hops bitterness and it ends with a slightly off-putting chemical taste, over all kind of fish and chips meets New Your street vendor roasted chestnut smoke. Or maybe its just smoked skunk. Ok its not my cup of tea. I am not eager to buy this again but I see BeerGuy got a good head from his pour so perhaps I wonder if this bottle had been mistreated. Eagle and Hannah rate it well to so I really should revisit some day. RERATE: 8/23/2013 Very nice lager..can only assume previous rating was on a poorly handled brew. Smoke barely detectable, really smooth and clean, chemical taste mentioned previously not detectable. Liked this a lot!!!!!!!!!

Huge long-lasting nose fresh, tropical, pine. Fully hazed medium amber body with a very smallish white head that lasts well and leaves decent lace. Mouth is full slick slightly drying and long-lasting. Flavor is so green with fresh hops... Citrus pith.. bitter... Sour lemon... Pine resin.

Amazing nose really pungent. I'm getting pine tropical fruit and bread fairly equally balanced just a major nasal assault. Medium gold body is pretty hazed and tapped with a rather minimal head that doesn't leave much lace. Clean thin mouth very nicely carbonated and quite coating. I'm getting an ugly medicinal finish from this can which I don't recall getting on previous samples. This sucker is bitter with a touch of sour at the end. Taste really follows the nose with a mixture of good old fashioned IPA pine resin and New England IPA flavors of peach and perhaps some green tropical fruit. I'm going to rewrite this again later because I don't remember it tasting quite like this previously and I'm wondering if I've got a funky can. But here it is for now.

Big pine and citrus in the nose. Medium amber body that is not quite clear, topped by a nice frothy head with good retention and and decent of lace. Mouth is clean,soft, slippery,medium bodied with nice carbonation. There is an exception perceived bitterness here at 73 IBU. A surprisingly solid malt backbone on this one that hints at toasted grains. Finish is wet and clean. This an excellently balanced. Alcohol slightly present. Grapefruit and orange on the font end, lovely spot on IPA. Might well be the standard against which all other Left Coast IPA's should be judged.

Black cheery, coffee, and cotton candy in the nose. Dead black body with a caramel colored head that is long lasting and with minimal lace. Nice round mouth that is medium bodied. Very complex flavor but overall sweet. Toffee and coffee in the initial flavor, goes quite sweet in mid-taste, then goes to ripe dark fruit,alcohol present and warming at the end with hops finally kicking in for a bit of tartness in the finish, final ending sour and fruity.

Huge tropical nose, pineapple, green apple, sweetened cookie dough. Totally fogged light yellow body tap to the moderate head leave suds but no lace. 12 things in mouth not quite watery fizzy carbonation. This is an all Galaxy version with Connecticut grains typical for this Brewery. Not a lot of taste at the start but a fairly nasty aspirin taste at the end. Lots of herbaceous bitter greens. Some honey on the front end.

(to be fair this bottle was born a year ago)OK, first off I had to pick a style (on that other beer site it would be called an American Brett, here Belgian seems the closest fit.) Pineapple and grass in the nose. Pours a thin head over a very pale straw body with no lace. Mouth is thin but not watery, perhaps a bit under-carbonated. I have become fond of this flavor profile. Pineapple and grass, maybe a bit of tobacco, just slightly sour with a fairly clean finish. Its more than the sum of its parts.

Minimal nose too heavy on the spice. Thin white head over light golden body, slightly fogged; head dissipates fast but has decent lace. Thin mouth is so so for style. Flavor starts OK, mostly orange peel and coriander, not complex or well balanced like a Hitachimi, then goes down hill, with bitter burnt spice taste and ends chemical, like one might imagine a mouthful of faded toilet disinfectant would taste, artifically fruity and astringent. 7/10 Somewhat better on draft but still not a very good effort.

Standard pilsner, not bad not good. Was fun at the local Lebanese festival. Medium gold, not much nose, grass and a bit of malt. Not a lot of taste, clean though and no awful aftertaste, not much skunk.

Nota lot of nose, nice copper body with good head and lace. Fullsome mouth,low carbonation. Solid malt backbone mildly roasted, close to an english pale but a bit more bitter. Quite a good APA.

Rerate 7/2021 Mild nose of malt not really a lot going on there. Cloudy copper / orange body pores almost no head and no lace. Mouth is slightly watery with a bit of a tingle. Flavor is malt forward possibly Crystal malts a bit sweet certainly not complex a hint of bitter and the Finish you could probably drink a lot of this it reminds me of McSorley's.

Wow, haven't dropped an anchor since I stumbled upon beerpal and started rating brews, and what a delight. I was suprised to detect almost no hops in the nose, a very bready, malty sent. The beer poured a nice off-white head that did not last long and produced moderate lace over a very clear and copper body. Mouthfeel is light (not in a bad way) crisp and clean with moderate carbonation tingle. The flavor is uncomplicated, starts with a little carmel malt sweetness, hits a solid hops bite on the back of the palate, and follows with a touch of peppery spice and a bit of sour fruit. Aftertaste is fairly dry with a lingering sourness. Seems I am only giving this beer 7's but I think the overall gets an 8. Somehow its better than the sum of its parts. this is definately a beer that tastes like more, it could be a major session beer, I could pound a lot of these and i am not a pounder! I would also think this would be a great introductory beer to anyone who is only used to macro-swill. Re-rate: having a second one; my numbers came out to 3.6 and I think it deserves more. Just cahsed some beef taquitos with salsa verde and this brew is damn nice with Mex. but thats not the reason for the re-rate. On a scale against all beers 3.6 is reasonable but it seems that I really should factor in the quality within the style, maybe not the steam style so much as session brew style. So I am kicking up the overall and mouthfeel. The bottom line is there is just nothing wrong with this beer!

On draft at the local. Long-lasting nose. I think there's some weed in there definitely tropical notes pineapple guava Clementine. Decent head medium retention leaves a skim coat pretty good sudsy lace. Mouth is just a hair creamy great tingle.... carbonation spot on it's a bit slick and a bit drying. I'm totally digging the flavor on this and it reminds me a bit of Bell's Two Hearted but hazy. There's just a hint of sweet tart maybe a little touch of sour pineapple at the end some nice high orange-colored citrus notes in the middle. Really well balanced. Astringency right near the end that goes away fast leaving a really clean slightly sour aftertaste. I'll have another please. They also have a really fun website maybe the best website I've seen for a Brewer so far except they could give us a little more information on the actual recipes.

Had with a lobster roll and then again at a tour of the brewery, nice tour and tasting. Crystal malts dominate the nose. Pours a medium brown body with a decent head, little lace, ok retention. Mouth is medium and slippery. Crystal malt predominates, feels very low alcohol..not sure I believe the 5.2 and actually website says 4.8. VERY drinkable, hugely sessionable.

Just back from a tour of the brewery where I picked up a six, very nice tour and tasting of a very small brewery btw. Nose like a pils; yeast, grass/wheat, some lemon. Fairly pale gold body topped by a minimum white head with little retention and no lace. Mouth is medium bodied, carbonation a bit underdone. Flavor is mild, a good bit of sweetness, touch of hop bittering at the end, grassy with some citrus, extremely drinkable but nothing special....my wife liked it.

Nose of raisins, honey, cinnamon. Slightly fogged medium copper body topped with an off-white head that is short lived and provides no lace. Mouth is fairly full, a bit slippery and low but acceptable carbonation. Flavor is sweet with alcohol warming....honey, carmel or crystal malts, ripe dark fruit, sweet finish. Interestingly this was from a tour of the brewery and is a bottle of unknown age.

I might be stuffy but I am only getting a mild nose, hint of citrus, probably orange. Pours a light amber body with moderate short-lived head and decent lacing. Good mouth medium bodied and slightly creamy, carbonation is decent, I would not mind a bit more. Fairly hoppy in flavor most of the flavor is in the back end. Some orange, maybe some tobacco, a nutiness, strong malt backbone for an IPA, this one is close to English Pale. Nice bitterness to the finish. I like this beer although its a bit odd for an IPA. Alcohol well masked. RERATE 15 MINUTES LATER: This it the rare IPA that really blossoms after it warms a bit. Lots of fruit and flowers, how lovely to have an IPA that is quite bitter WITHOUT the standard big mouth of grapefruit, and with such a solid malt undertone. This one is aces! A testimony to a brewer that really understands the ingredients and how to achieve balance.

From 2 hour old memory. Look its hard to make an American Saison. Scent as expected, cloudy dark amber body over an off white head with OK retention and a bit of lace. Medium mouth not as slippery as I would like, carbonation OK. Like most US saisons (in my experience) there is just too much bubble gum although this one is not as offensive as most. Certainly don't use this to introduce the style to anyone, best I can say is not as offensive as most US Saison's.

Perfect pils aroma... Lemon zest, fresh cut grass, maybe a hint of almond extract. Pours a very clear pale gold with a decent head that doesn't have much staying power and leaves no lace. Great mouth.. tingly slippery and clean, slightly light body. Pills flavor doesn't get any better than this.. tart, a little bit of must, slightly astringent towards the end, perfectly bittered and perfectly balanced. And some lemon rind and fresh grass the super clean finish.
