Mardi Gras Bock is the first of our seasonal brews. Abita Mardi Gras Bock is brewed with pale, pilsner and caramel malts and German Perle hops. Our bock is similar to German maibocks with its rich malt flavor and full body. A perfect choice during Carnival season in New Orleans. Gruyére, Emmental and Swiss are nice cheese choices with Bock. Great with roasted beef or pork. Try it with Mexican food, too.

Buttery and weak, with a mildew nose and noticeably slack carbonation. Tastes mildly sweet, with a corn and caramel undertone rubbing up against toast and nothing, leading to a modest Brit-hop fade. Not good.

bottle as Mardi Gras Bock - Pours dark gold with a one finger off-white head. It has a light, caramel malt aroma. It tastes of sweet malt with a little caramel and hops bitterness that while still fairly mild, is more bitter than usual for a bock. Overall it’s drinkable but struggles to reach average quality.

Draught. Rich yellow with medium sized spongy beige head, slight doughy aroma, high carbonation, slightly sweet caramel taste, abrupt finish with caramel aftertaste. Nice and easy to drink.

Bottle at Stop&Go, San Juan. As Mardi Gras Bock. Amber color, small off-white head, some lace. Caramel, bready notes, some spicey hops in the nose. Light to medium-bodied, even a bit watery for this ABV. Caramel, bread, light spicey hoppyness. Quite close to German dunkler bocks.

Cereal and honey nose, more of the former. Clear amber, medium yellow head, good lacing.Tastes as it smells, with the addition of hay in the end. Full body, moderate carbonation. Not my favorite style, but I enjoyed it.
