It taste different to me. Maybe because I'm buying it in the states of Georgia and Florida. Would that make a difference?

It seems like it doesn't have that full Amber body flavor that I remember. I know the beer is mass produced but does anyone know if they inject CO2 or do they go through a secondary fermentation process? That could be the difference or maybe my taste are changing.

Anyone notice Abita Amber flavor changes over the past few years?

It's kind of been my go to beer. I'm just not enjoying it as much as I have in the past.

I don't want this to be a bash Abita thread, I just want to hear if anyone else has notice a change in their amber beer's taste over the last half year or so.

I don't drink it, but perhaps you are getting older beer now that you are buying it out of state. A few months of extra age will change the smell and taste of the beer.

Good point.

I really like draught beer a lot more than bottled. Freshness is probably the issue.

It's not what I remember. I use to drink Abita Amber fairly regular and then I stopped drinking it. Several years went by and I tried it again. Well, I noticed a difference. Is it me? Is it them? I don't know.

Parish South Coast blows it away. Not that blowing Abita Amber away is really hard, but it's good. Go get some. Now! Right now!
