Description
The Abita Brewing Company is nestled in the piney woods 30 miles north of New Orleans. In its first year, the brewery produced 1,500 barrels of beer. We had no idea what we started. Customers loved our beer! By 1994, we outgrew the original site (now our 100-seat brew pub) and moved up the road to a larger facility to keep up with demand.
We brew more than 125,000 barrels of beer and 13,500 barrels of soda of in our state-of-the-art brewing facility. Our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. This pride, along with our brewing process, is what creates our great brews.
We are privately owned and operated by local shareholders, many who have been with us since day one.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a thick light tan head and great retention. Great lacing too. Faint dark roasted barley aroma. Good dark roasted barley malt flavor with minor licorice notes. I'm not picking up any of the salty notes from the oysters. Smooth and clean. Semi-creamy texture. And the 8.0% ABV is very well hidden. Nice stout. Medium-heavy body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness.

12oz bottle c/o Ryan. Not that impressive for a Kolsch, tastes more like an American Blonde Ale...nutty tone that isn't at all appropriate for a Kolsch. Straightforward and easy drinking, decent bitter balance.

Slightly hazy golden yellow with moderate white head. Honey, apple, biscuit malt, hay, and alcohol aroma. Moderately sweet honey, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter hay and alcohol flavor. Good body. A bit boozy.
