ABita Brewing Co. - Amber Ale Review




Type: Marzen/Amber

ABV: 4.5%

Color: Deep dark copper brown with an off-white thin head that disappears to an even thinner top lacing.

Aroma: Sweet caramels and light cherry comes through up front. Maltiness sneaks up on you, but is there on a deep breath

Taste: Toasted malts with some sweet touches come front and center and are followed by a light alcohol bite. The finish coats the tongue with a creaminess that is pleasant and totally enjoyable.

Overall: A fairly balanced beer from front to back. Smooth with a light mouthfeel. Easily goes down and can be overjoyed if not paying attention. Could be paired nicely with spicy foods such as Steamed Crabs, Mexican, or those from where it is brewed, Louisiana...Jambalaya, or Crawfish.

Score: 7.8/10
