The pour is golden yellow with a fairly light amount of carbonation. The taste is corn & malt. Cheers! C

this is so bad, seriously one of the worst beers i have had so far this year, who would ever create such a monstrosity on purpose?! the establishment we were at almost assuredly had dirty lines, but no dirty line i have ever known could explain a beer this objectively poor on all counts. its flat and dull looking from the tap, yet still watery, beer all the way up to the rim of the shaker pint, no head at all, i hate that. it smells and tastes nasty too, almost contaminated to me, metals and wet cardboard and stale bread and corn syrup, its totally undrinkable, no grain or yeast or hops at all here in either aroma or flavor, it has an almost bile aspect to it, stomach turning, tired and lazy and thin in feel too. i drink a couple of huge gulps, trying to let it refresh me or to identify something even remotely redeemable, but i cant do it, its just gross. aluminium foil, wet oyster crackers, paste, sawdust, it just seems like Marx's adulterated bread. maybe i had a bad keg through a bad line, i hope i did, but after this experience i am pretty darn unlikely to revisit this one. shocking really, usually i really like the beer abita makes, but this is offensive!

12oz bottle into a pint glass is a clear yellow-gold body with a full 2in white head that dissipates to just a ring hugging the glass, sans lacing.
Aroma is faint bitter hop under the dominant, but still lihht malt.
Flavors match. Medium to light feel, lower carbonation, and a wet, and oddly, watery finish.
