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.

Bottle labeled as Mardi Gras Bock. Pours a clear gold/orange with a pretty decent head that spills over the sides of the glass and causes a little cussing before cleanup. Aromas are sweet and doughy, with little evidence of a heavy hops presence. Flavor is a little syrupy sweet... lots of honey and dough, a little bit of a herbal presence, some fruit (pears) and a hint of abv.

Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks ER!). Yellowish golden colour with mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is strong fruity and floral hops along with mild caramel malts as well. Flavour is fruity, grassy, floral and slightly bready malts. Pleasant, but nothing extraordinary.

Rejoice, another Abita beer. So this is is supposed to put one in the festive mood of mardi gras? Pours a clear amberish, white head. Aroma, pale malts, hops and a sweet doughy malt nose as the beer warms up a bit. Flavor, bitter/grassy hops, light caramel and mild toasted malt flavors, cardboard mouthfeel that is one dimensional except for the faint touch of doughy palate.

Bottled@Monks Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, grass, earth, wood and some mild notes of nectar. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balanced way. Not too radical.

Sampled on draft at D’s in Monroeville PA this beer poured a dark golden color with a medium sized soapy white head. The aroma was sweet, tangy, grape and pear. The flavor was tangy and sweet with notes of candied pear and table sugar. The finish was long, tangy and sweet. Full body. Simple but quite tasty.
