Hazy yellow, orange in color. Thick white head with awesome retention and mountains of lacing.

Fruity, berry like aromas. Smooth grain.

Grainy malt with a processed white bread character, extremely smooth. Distinct raspberry and blackberry are the most prominent flavors, yet not overwhelming. Mild honey sweetness. Tart on the finish. Mellow, herbal hops barely break the threshold of taste.

Smooth feel. Medium-bodied and good carbonation. Leaves a sharp crispness at the end. Highly drinkable also.

Not the most interesting beer out there but for what it is, it's not too bad. Smooth, drinkable and refreshing.

S: The scents smell like hints of peroxide, very offputting. Just not good at all. T

T: Taste just like it smells and thats all there is to say about it

M: None whatsoever, went down like water leaving much to be desired.

OVERALL: Just awful. The same goes for all beers made by abita to me. I've had three types made by Abita, and all got the 2.00 rating.
