IMHO

I have never been a huge fan of the beer to begin with, but I would enjoy a few occasionally during previous seasons. But something about this years batch. It sucks. It has no flavor. Tastes like a stale lager that they added sugar to with no strawberry.

Is it just me

Welcome to 2010-present.

It was a pretty solid fruit beer for a couple years then completely tanked in 2010. It's awful these days.

Agreed. Their satsuma is also lackluster

Must be why they stopped making it in 2012.

I had a few last season and thought the same. Shitty base lager with sugar.

Sounds like a fantastic beer!

Recently, I had Abita Amber again for the first time in like 5 years. Frankly, if it wasn't for the fact that I ordered it, I wouldn't have recognized it. It's was familiar, but definitely different.

I'll usually start my nights off with one if it's on tap. I've noticed it's been super inconsistent this year so far, but when it's good, it's good.

I've only had a few this year, but they've all been good.
