Notes:
Andygator, a creature of the swamp, is a unique high-gravity brew made with pale malt, German lager yeast, and German Perle hops. Unlike other high-gravity brews, Andygator is fermented to a dry finish with a slightly sweet flavor and subtle fruit aroma. Reaching an alcohol strength of 8% by volume, it is a Helles Dopplebock.

3.68/5  rDev +4.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Poured from the bottle into a snifter. Color was pretty with a yellowish base and a golden hue. Head was healthy, white, and about one and a half fingers strong. Little lacing. Smell was initially grassy with some florals. Taste has a bit more malt to it, with the florals taking more of a back seat. Feel is smooth and enjoyable with just the right amount of carbonation. Overall a very enjoyable beer. Great flavor, smell and feel.

Tennessee

3.31/5  rDev -5.7%
look: 3.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25

Poured into a pint glass out of a 22oz bomber.

Pours a slightly hazy medium gold with a small half finger white head. Not much at all in the way of head retention or lacing.

The aroma has lots of caramel with a slight hint of toasted malt and grass/hay. There is some light tropical fruit that plays in the background but caramel and toffee really rules here.

The flavor is quite a bit weaker than the aroma but still has the caramel/toffee notes up front. There is tropical fruit in the middle with some wet grass coming in towards the finish although it is light. Bitterness is on the light to moderate side with just a tiny hint of alcohol to go along with a slightly sticky finish.

Overall, it is a nice attempt by Abita but I am less than impressed. The flavors and aroma are just way too weak all-around and it is a bit boring.
