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 - 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.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear pink/amber, small creamy head. Light mango aroma. Sweet and clean with light-medium body. Quite fruity with some unexpe4cted cocoa. Finishes slightly metallic with medium bitterness. The primitive, hard malt character is the biggest drawback.

Clear gold with a fleeting white head. Flowery citrus aroma with a good malt base. Mostly fruity and sweet with a light bitterness. More APA than IPA.

12 oz. twist-top from Sam’s Wines. A rich copper body with a fluffy light tan IPA head. Smell shows hop resins, malt smell that suggests this somehow was roasted darker than it appears. Some kind of cereal in the smell, or unroasted barley. Tastes nice. Malts tend more toward a nut brown ale, which would favor the American Pale Ale more, but no, the hops stay closer to the English iteration. In fact, despite a nice pepper, floral and grassy hop note, with a touch of pine, it still stands back for the beer’s full roast malt. Whatever else, it’s just very nice drinking.

Bottle. Dark brown body with an average size tan head that disappears. The aroma is mostly malty with notes of roasted malts, some dark chocolate, some grain. The flavor is moderatley sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is moderately bitter and leaves a burnt taste with a slight hint of metal. Medium body with a watery texture and zippy carbonation. Seems out of kilter with the sweet notes followed by such a harsh finish.

Nice slightly hazy copper coloured body with a perfect tan head. Aroma of fresh grassy & light citrus hops, caramel, malt and lemons. Medium-bodied; Sharp hoppy assertiveness up front fading to a very mild malt backbone and a tiny amount of sugars show well. Aftertaste remains mild - a bit of sugar, some nuts and a light twang of the hops - not much though! Overall, an ’okay’ IPA, much more mild than i’d expect, and typically good for someone who likes APAs instead. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 08-July-2008.
