Abita Question

has anyone had the pecan harvest? i was thinking of picking up a 6 pk of that this weekend to try it out.

i've tried the red ale once; i thought it was ok but not necessarily great. Amber is my favorite. I like the Strawberry but i can only drink one in a sitting before switching to something else.

I tried the Mardi Gras back in January for the first time. I thought it was pretty good; one of the better of the seasonal. Andygator is good but not a beer that i would drink more than one at a sitting.

the restoration ale was pretty good as well, but i don't know if they still do that one.

The only one I have ever had problems getting my hands on is the Strawberry. But I have been assured multiple times that I will be the first one called when they get it in(On the condition I stop calling everyday). Have you had the restoration yet?? The guy was trying to unload the last two sixers they had on me today. I told him I was too let down about the Strawberry.

Will do...Thanks for the help. I never need an excuse for a trip to NO! TA

Lazy Magnolia's is much much better.

i tried the Lazy Magnolia pecan recently; i thought it was ok but i wasn't blown away. i wouldn't go out of my way to find it but i would drink one is offered. i haven't tried the Abita Pecan, so i have no point of reference to compare. the only specialty or seasonal Abita we get up here has been the Strawberry last summer. other than than, we just get the standards (amber, turbo dog, golden, and purple haze).

Its not that great by itself but when compared to Abita's it is good.

Nobody wants to help me out with the question I posed in this thread?

They make wine coolers for a reason. How in the hell can anyone say what you'll like? Spend the 8 bucks and buy a six pack to try it, sheesh.

Did I ask somebody to tell me what I would like jackass??? I just asked if the previously mentioned Abita flavors was bitter like other traditional beers. It was a simple question and it only required a simple answer.

I am not much of a beer drinking b/c I hate the bitter taste of traditional beers like Miller and Budwiser. Any of the Abita flavors that were previously mentioned has that bitter taste to them?

Different beers will vary in taste greatly from person to person. You can get something of a decent idea based upon the different styles, though. B-M-C are all "light American lagers", I believe, and none of the Abita beers that have been talked about in this thread are of that style. Original Dixie is an American lager, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone unless they were looking for that particular kind of beer.
