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 Whole Foods Glen Allen, VA. Pours a hazy peach color with a medium head and good head retention and lacing. Went away for 20 minutes and there’s still a good finger of head. Aroma is very bready with citrus and caramel notes. Taste is bready with sweet citrus notes and a bit of spice. Medum bodied. Pleasant but not very complex.

12oz bottle–pours a foamy white head that laces and hazy yellow color. Aroma is strawberry, grain. Taste is strawberry, grain/wood, spice hops-then some lemon. While the hops aren’t at the front of taste, they do dominate slightly. Towards medium body. Good carbonation. Good, easy, but not watery beer with some hops bite presence. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Bottle from BevMo in Elk Grove, CA. As Abita Mardi Gras Bock. Pours a light orange gold color with a moderate white head. Aromas of noble hop and caramel. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is caramel with nobel hop, kind of like an amber pilsner. Ends mildly sweet with supporting bitter. Not bad.

12oz shorty bottle. Thick yellow orange, with a fluffy white head. The aroma is all Satsuma, lots of tangy citrus. Tangy orange taste as well, with some pleasant wheat to smooth it out. There is also some vanilla in the aftertaste. Overall a pretty good White beer, exceeding my expectations.

Bomber from BevMo Salinas. Nose is caramel, candi sugar, light fruit, and a light smoky note. Clear rusty red with a big, heavily lacing, beige head. Flavor is light sweetness, caramel, a light bitter note, and some alcohol warmth. Decent Dubbel! Better than most of the other Abita’s I’ve had.

Cooper color. Kiwis, ctirusy nose. Body is very dry and rather thin, but dangerously drinkable. Backbone isn’t there, but it works with the dryness. Moderately bitter finish. A decent, but not great IPA.
