Maker: Abita, Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA
Style: Lager with raspberry.
ABV: 4.2% ABV
Appearance: cloudy burnt orange.
Nose: Malt and a vague fruitiness.
On the palate: Heavy cereal notes with a background of raspberry. Like eating a bowl of Grape Nuts with raspberries, only the raspberries have already been eaten and all that’s left is the raspberry infused milk with the cereal.
Finish: Light with more cereal and what seems to be a touch of hops. Not much fruit to be found.
Parting words: I traded a Rübæus for this with a friend. I think she got the better of the trade. There’s nothing wrong with this beer. It’s very easy drinking and if you like lots of cereal flavors in your beer, you’ll like it. I think it needs more raspberry, though. If I didn’t want something that tasted like it’s been made with raspberries, I wouldn’t get this beer. So I want more raspberry not more. Anyway, it’s good enough to warrant a mild recommendation.
