Abita Amber
Beer-a-Day #69
This begins a new six-pack of beers from a single brewer. This time I’m doing Abita Beer. First up is Abita Amber.
Medium amber (duh!) in color, a healthy ivory colored head. Malty aroma with a bit of peanuttiness. Body is heavier than I expected and quite malty.
No trackbacks yet.

Generally, this beer is a dark ale, however, the recipe changes each year, offering a unique product crafted with special care. Enjoy your holidays with Abita Christmas Ale. The spicy character is excellent with traditional holiday foods such as gingerbread or spiced nuts.
Medium brown with off-white head. Aroma is light with a bit [...]

Nice deep amber color with a finger’s-width of head. Aroma has a bit of caramel and lemon candy. Medium body, with a bit of roastiness. I like it.

This is the last of a six-pack from Abita Beer.
A nice amber color with orange highlights. Big spicy hop aroma. That’s interesting. A good bit of hops but not all that bitter. An interesting fruitiness too. I never thought I’d be surprised by an IPA. Good stuff.

This is the fifth of a six-pack from Abita Beer.
Turbodog is probably Abita’s most famous brew.
It pours a nice deep brown with gold highlights; thick cream-colored head. I’m getting a whiff of coffee, vanilla, and some fruit. Pineapple? Plenty of body, with a nice chocolate essence and a smooth finish. I rather like this.

This is number four of a six-pack from Abita Beer.
After two beers gone bad, I’m hoping for a good experience.
Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. A bit of citrusey hops. Body’s lighter than I expected, with a little hop bite. Now this is more like it.

Beer-a-Day #71
This is the third of a six-pack from Abita Beer.
Very pale yellow with a big white head. Not much aroma; maybe some “yeastiness”. Also a bit lightstruck. Not much flavor. Another that seems off.
I know I’ve had Abita before and liked it. I wonder if the retailer I bought these from was storing them [...]

Beer-a-Day #70
This is the second of a six-pack of beers from Abita Beer.
It’s labeled as a “Raspberry Wheat Brew” and as a “Malt Beverage with Raspberries added”. Sounds ominous.
I’m concerned. There’s a lot of stuff floating in it and I’m getting the slightest hint of lightstruck aroma. It also seems overcarbonated. I get a little [...]

This is the third (and final, for now) beer from Legacy Brewing.
Light amber with some orange highlights. Off-white head without much lacing. Toast and grass in the aroma, but otherwise “clean”, if I can use that cliché. Sweeter than I expected, but not overly so. This is interesting. Needs more research.

Flying Dog Brewery: Old Scratch Amber Lager

Posted in Beer, Reviews | No comments
Flying Dog has become one of my favorite breweries. All the more so that it is now brewed just 15 miles up the road in Frederick, Maryland as well as in Denver.
The homebrewing class I’ve been in has seemed to focus on “big” beers, so I wanted to balance that with something a little lighter. [...]

I like the Turbo Dog… I’d like to know what you think of that one. (Goes good with fried chicken from Hatties)
March 11, 2009 - 8:36 AM
That one’s coming up.

When I think abita, i think Turbo Dog. I doubt you will be disappointed with it.
