Abita Restoration Pale Ale: 22

Taste: 7  Finish: 7  Visual: 4  Aroma: 4
Total: 22

Abita donates proceeds from this brew to aid in restoration projects in Louisiana after the hurricanes from the past few years.

Aroma is crisp with some citrus and hops. Color is a pale amber. Full head and a bit of lacing. Taste is a bit sweet up front followed by some citrus in the middle. The hops poke up a bit in the back just enough for flavor and then quickly fade in the exhale. Very well balanced for a pale ale.  Just enough refreshment and just enough flavor to make you come back for more. Think Sierra Nevada and you're pretty close. Well worth it.
