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.

It pours a coppery orange pour with a really creamy, thick, and long-lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with a bunch of hops. Taste is malty and doughy at first then it goes to getting moderately hoppy. It gets to be the most bitter at its finish. Palate is nice and creamy with a medium body. Pretty good indeed. Too bad that my friends drank almost this entire six-pack.

Pours copper, off white head. Aroma, fileld with pecan nuts, malty. Taste is the same, some nice touch of pecan, very malty, caramel, some floral hops. Aftertaste is hoppy, with light chocolat malts. Pretty decent offering.

Clear amber color. It starts with a quite nice hop aroma, almost fleshy, meaty; then it turns more into toffee. Medium body, with a sweet toffee flavor, soft mouthfeel, strong but not aggressive bitterness. The hops show both some resiny and fruity character, but the final gets a cookie character too. An original American Pale Ale.

Sampled at Hills Market beer tasting. Pours a dark orange-brown color with a medium off-white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing. Aroma of pecans and pralines, plus a little malt. Medium-bodied with a sweet and nutty character. Some malt and chocolate flavor as well, but none of the flavors really shines. The finish is short and nutty with a light sweet spice aftertaste that is reminiscent of pecan pie. Overall, whether your pronounce it ’peh-kan’ or ’pea-can’, this beer is barely average.

bottle - Pours clear almost orange in color. It has a light malt aroma. The flavor is pretty much all sweet malt. It’s just a little nutty. Light bodied and smooth, this beer is average is pretty much every way.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. I think it is this, and not the Golden Ale (retired). Pours a clear golden color with a small, white head. Aroma of grass and lemon. Taste is light citrus and some grass. Thin mouthfeel fizzy.

This smelled and looked really good. Cloudy, rasberry’s and yeast....but this dissapointed it’s too sweet which I thought with the rasberry’s being fresh and not artificial it would be sour and not sweet, but it was and it masks what may be a good wheat underneath.
