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.

Mild piny turpentine aroma. Yellow brown orange with a slight haze. Thin squeamish creamish head. Tastes like fresh ground up sappy pine cones and green grapefruits. . Bitter medicine. Finish that lasts for what seems forever. Just as offensive as any IPA and borders on IIPA territory. Very impressive for Abita. Has legs!

Different from other brown ales that I have had before. Large, light brown, creamy haead. Body hue is somewhere between a dark red and a dark brown. Good retention and lacing. Smell is of butter, hay and toasted malt as far as I can tell. Taste is an odd mix of celery, floral hops and some chocolatey malts. Goes down alright, with a bit too many bubbles.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. The aroma is hoppy with citrus. The taste is very bitter with citrus and pine and a smooth finish. Easy to drink a good pale ale from Abita.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head that diminishes quickly. Sticky lacing on the glass. The aroma is a good balance of malt and hops with slight caramel. The taste is a light hop with a bitter finish. A decent amber from Abita.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is was a corn malt and very metallic. The taste is as bad as the aroma. Total opposite of the commercial description.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours with a modest haze with copper body and thin off white head. The aroma starts with a pulse of pine and grassy hops followed by mild somewhat muted maltiness that’s mostly bits of caramel, toffee and mild roastiness. The flavor brings forth pine hop bitterness and grassiness. Then it slowly builds into caramel and mildly roasted maltiness to and through the midway point in the experience. The hop bitterness resurges some into the finish. Nice tasting IPA.

Slight tart strawberry aroma. Yellow, pale in color. Certainly strawberry flavor but not sweet. More like unsweetened syrup. reminds me of strawberry quick or a milk cereal I once had as a kid. Off lingering finish.
