Abita Brewing Company - Covington, Louisiana USA
IPA (ABV 6.5%) (IBU 52)

[Suggested Glassware: Shaker Glass]

Rating: 2.7/5.0

Aroma: 5/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 10/20

The pour was a clear medium amber with an average (1-2 finger) off white frothy head that was fully diminishing, leaving behind only a very small collar and fair streaky lacing.

The aroma was of a mild caramel malt and light floral hops with hints of caramel and citrus (orange).

The taste was very light and mildly malty sweet with a touch of caramel early on, and then became lightly hoppy with a mild bitter citrus peel ending. The flavor was average in duration being mostly of a slight bitter taste that faded away at a somewhat steady pace.

Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a soft carbonation.

Overall a decent light IPA that was very mild in flavor and did possess a really good drinkability...
