Abita Brewing Company - Restoration Pale Ale Review




Type: Pale Ale

ABV: 5.0%

Color: Pleasant Darker Golden-yellow with a finger-thin white head

Aroma: Very blah. Not much of a nose at all...possibly a light malt twinge

Taste: Earthy but muted, Bptter but not really bitter, dry but not really dry...It's hard to explain. No pronounced sweetness really, but a little orange

Overall: Very tricky describing this one. It's not bad nor at all unique to be classified as great. On first taste there is a bitterness that wants to come through but doesn't quite do it. There is a dry aspect that doesn't really completely go dry. I guess i would put it this way...If someone was talking to you while you were underwater you can hear them, but the words aren't clear or distinct. Multiply that effect a number of times and that is how the taste is. There, but muted

Score: 7.0/10
