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 ounce bottle from Total Wine Richmond, VA, north location, for which they overcharged me for and then the cashier took the bottle and spoke to a manager for several minutes about how to give me a refund when I was in a hurry and had already told him twice that I didnβt need a refund. Asses. I bet they didnβt even fix the price in the system, which is the only reason I said anything in the first place. Oh yeah, the beer... This pours a hazy pale orange color with not much of a head. Aroma of biscuity bread notes, bitter hops and a grainy note. The taste is fruity with light grainy notes. Watered down, thin and slightly dirty. I think I honestly prefer Bud Light Golden Wheat to this.

I dont think this one deserves such a bad rating, and definitely not to be lumped in with the blue moon crowd. true, it doesnt have the characteristics that make other whiteβs more distinctive, the "citrus" flavor seems a little too fabricated, and its a little too weak in other flavors to garner a high rating, but its not a bad beer. I could easily have this as a session beer on a hot day in the summer...not that im going to...but i could.

12 oz bottle purchased at World Market as part of an Abita sampler. Pour is mostly clear copper with a huge foamy and rocky 5 inch light tan head. Falls slowly, leaving behind spotty lacing. Aroma of soft hay, and fresh crackery malt. The malt is nice, though quite faint. Taste is the cracker and mildly sweet biscuit of the nose, along with a pleasant hay and grain through the finish. There is a touch of apple fruit sweetness all along, though it is faint and under the maltiness. Simple, though nicely clean. Palate is medium to thin bodied, lower carbonation level and a crisp mineral finish. Overall, decent enough.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of an Abita sampler at World Market. Pour is slight hazed orange copper with a large, frothy 4 inch off white head. Aroma is mildly malty, along with a vegetal green pepper aroma. Dull, trending towards off nose. Taste is the nose, though much more focused on the straight forward cereal grain malt. The green pepper vegetal is present towards the back, and dominates the longish finish. Palate is thin to medium bodied, yet still manages to be a touch watery. The carbonation is a bit under what I would expect, and the aforementioned aftertaste detracts.
