Our Tastes-- Abita Golden

I told you another sample pack tasting was coming and this time it is the Abita Party Pack. This past year it came packed with 2 Golden, 2 TurboDogs, 2 Amber, 2 PurpleHaze, 2 Christmas Ale and 2 20th Annivery Pilsners. The Golden is our 1st of the pack. It pours a nice golden straw as the name implies made with only pilsner malt, german lager yeast, Hallertauer hops and of course the artesian waters of Abita Springs. The head dissipates quickly and so does the aftertaste. This is a great summer brew, reminiscent of Sam Adams Summer Ale. It has a clean, crisp taste that even Indiana approves of and sports a great green crown. Something to be said for having an eye-catching crown....
