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 at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a dark brown with a brown head. Aroma was full of wooden notes with an undertone of light chocolate. Flavor had a light chocolate note that combined a bit awkwardly with the wooden note.

Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 9/21/09

Aroma: Light bready/biscuity malt nose, light fruit
Appearance: Clear golden-orange pour, almost no head
Flavor: Malty up-front, and a semi-sweet fruity flavor follows
Palate: Light-medium, a little too much carbonation, a touch watery
Overall Impression: I’m surprised I hadn’t rated this one before. This is a decent beer, has some interesting flavors to it, kind of light of nose and a bit watery, but a decent taste. Overall, its average or just above, and drinkable. Nice seasonal beer to enjoy with a football game.

Bottle. Pours with a hazed golden color with particles and a minimal white head. Aroma is sticky, sweet, coriander and citrus fruit juice, champagne and wheat. Taste is dry citrus fruits and wheat with seltzer. A bit perfumey. Very bland. Fizzy and dry. Forgettable.

bottle, pours dark brown, medium tan head. Strange spicey coffee nose. Full body, very roasty, tons of sweet malt, and some smoke in the finish.

Being that my name is Andy, I was naturally drawn to Andygator. I’m typically not a big fan of Bocks but I’m enjoying this one. Definitely has a bite to it and maintains a malty character. Would probably buy again if possible.

12 oz. bottle. Label dates not notched. Regular yellow color under fizzy head, a little bit hazy. Strawberries in smell seems natural, not overdone, with room for beer malt in the nose, too. Well, I think the taste is enjoyable. Strawberries don’t overwhelm. Malt seems to carry more of the sweetness. Just a bit of hop bitterness. Finishes nicely. A simply well-done fruit beer, not an easy thing to find.

Bottle. Pours a coppery brown and has a bit of a head, but not much. Pecans and nuts dominate the nose, but it has a bit of toffee and autumn leaves, too. Flavor and mouthfeel are both prtty light, but pretty nice. Lots of nuts and medium maltiness here, but it still is pretty mild.

Attractive pour, swirling sediment and a nice head on a pale brew. Yep, just like a wit. Just smells clean and sterile. Good smooth initial flavors. Crisp with decent carbonation. A decent example of a wit.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy golden-amber color with a large foamy white head. The aroma was lightly dry, musty and tangy. The flavor was dryish, musty,wheaty and tangy with light undertones of citrus and spice. Medium length finish. Fairly full bodied. Solid.

bottle, pours golden straw, white head. Aroma has light notes of spices; coriander, wheat, yeast, and some grassy touch. Flavor, wheat, yeasty, fresh orange peels with possible apricot. Overall palate has a nice witbier feel with hints of malts with a light spicy finish and some grassy hops with a faint bitter finish. A decent wit.
