12oz single bottle from Mac’s Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of the mixed sixer for $7.99.
Not a big fan of Abita in general, so coupled with the style, I did not have high hopes. The beer turned out to be marginally more drinkable than expected, but not really anything I could imagine buying ever again.
Poured from the 12oz stubbie (with the annoying label that has dates on it but that were NOT notched) into the Tucher Weizen 0.5L glass.
Very light yellow pour, with some mild chill haze and some ill-defined head and lace.
Mild strawberry ice-cream nose – that is to say there is a milkshake creaminess to it. Very little of this is reflected in the taste, so the beer seems just like a sweet, APA or wheat beer.
Very little character, but I guess that’s the whole point. Easy drinking on a hot day, but there is a very fine line between this and a thousand other macro/light lagers. Not for me.
