Chestnut body with a good, light coffee colored head on an aggressive pour. This fades fairly quickly to give a thin film on the surface but not much lace. Nose offers a BIG, chocolatey, dry. cocoa waft, but not what I would call any significant...
22 oz screen printed bottle. Abita's charitable effort. Best By 08/11 on the neck of the bottle - can a Pils with an ABV of 7.00% really feel fresh over one year from now? I dunno - maybe. Pour offers a light, straw colored body with a fairly low...
Lovely, another Abita Select and to be honest after some initial scepticism on my part I've been increasingly pleased with some of their efforts. It seems as though most Taco Macs in the Atlanta area have installed a permanent Abita Select tap;...
On tap at Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. Part of the Abita Select series that we now see in Atlanta. Pour gives a golden body with a touch of chill-haze and some significant head,. The head retention is good and he lace that it produces is not...
Restoration. 12oz bottle, Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. Macro color but carbonation is strong. Head and lace decent too. Surprinsingly impressive pour especially in the bottle. Light hops in the nose with some simple malt/grain. After that all...
12oz stubbie, the usual Abita and Christmas presentation. Single from Mac's, Atlanta, GA, USA. Best Before 05/01/2010 on the neck. Pour is an attractive copper body with some nice white head that shows decent retention and some sticky lace. Good...
12 oz stubbie for the usual Abita presentation. Fairly low expectations like all Abita beers. Weird yellow/green pour with a frothy but not dense head. Falls away quickly to leave no trace of lace or other sign that there was head present. Some...
Additional notes: 02/22/23 (pictured) Specifically went to Deer Park Irish Pub in Fort Wayne to drink this. The 2023 draft version seems a lot more "bock-like" than my notes from 2009 would suggest. Nice depth of flavor and that quaffable, mild...
Thanks go out to Roy for bringing this back from New Orleans, LA, USA at Christmas 2008. Pour leads to very good clarity in the body, a mid-amber hue and some nice head. Good retention, but strangely not much lace. Aroma gives a malty promise which...
22 oz bomber from Tower on Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA. $4.99, I *think*. A little more attractive than your average Dubbel. More clarity and a slightly more reddish tinge rather than the dirty brown dishwater note that often accompanies the style....
Alright, I'm lost! Firstly take a read of my original review of the on-tap version of this beer from May 2007; http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/3/1565/?ba=Ding In the BA database this has been categorized as Doppelbock (No), Barleywine (No) and...
12 oz single from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into the Tucher Weizen, 500 mL glass. Frankly this is a bit odd. It pours more like a macro lager, and lacks a cloudy appearance. It must be filtered? Nose is a sweetish, corny skunk and...
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,...
12oz stubbie bottle as part of a six pack. Clear orange lucozade color with some decent carbonation but it doesn't translate into much head or lace. Only an aggressive pour leads to any bubbles. Grainy, non-descript nose. Soapy taste is all I rally...
12oz stubbie, $4.50, Taco Mac, East-West Connector, Austell, Atlanta, GA, USA. Mid-orange pour with a high, light (large bubbles) head. Some broken lace, and the head stays on as a film. Sinus clearing hop aroma that increases with temperature....
On tap at Crabapple location of Taco Mac, Roswell, GA, USA. $3.75 for a 16 oz pour. Served way too cold, this couldn't be appreciated until it warmed up quite a lot. Thin, wispy lace, small head on top of the reddish brown body. Mild bitterness...
Part of the $5.95 sampler at Wild Wing Cafe, Marietta, GA, USA. Errr...Doppelbock - NO. (Subsequently changed in the BA database to read American Barleywine....errr...NO!) Straw colored lager looking pour with some creamy white head. Looks OK....
On-tap, Taco Mac, Decatur, GA, USA. Reddish, copper colored pour with small ivory colored head and minimal lacing. No spice, very little malt and fading hoping bitterness. Very little here. A weak, very bland amber that at least resembles the style...
Not my favorite style, but the more I drink this type of beer, the more it grows on me. It seems to improve down each glass too. Very much a golden color with some initial head, but the head and lacing are gone soon. A lot of freshly mown hay and...
Have to admit that this was generally disappointing to me. Simply very thin in the mouth with little or no character and a mild taste that simply failed to satisfy. Poured out a light orange color with the small head fading fast to nothing. Very...
Not really my favorite style, so this review may be somewhat biased. Very noticeable raspberry hightlights in both the aroma and the first taste. The raspberry flavor is very dry and sort of floral. I don't really go for the fruit beers very much...
A nice Brown Ale. Pours a very attractive red/brown color with a nice amount of carbonation to give a decent head that hangs around a bit. A tasty little number with plenty of maltiness and a bitter finish in just the right amount. Drinkable, good...
