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.

What a strange name. Note to self: ’Need to find out more about this name.’ Pop the lid and rotten lemony aroma. Appearance of slightly hazy pale yellow American lager. Easy to drink, tho it does posses a few of the attributes of an ale. Rather friendly and pale lager like. Enjoyable with a touch of wet straw.

Re-rate 10/7/12: Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear deep golden with a medium white head. Pleasant floral and citric hops aroma with a bit of bready and slightly biscuity malt. Flavor has light malt sweetness and crisp floral/citric hops bitterness. Light-medium-bodied. A nice one. It seems I like it better than I did 5 years ago. 7/3/7/3/14=3.4
Bottle sample at a tasting. Hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma of floral hops, a bit of malt and a bit of citrus. Flavor of sweet malt, a bit fruity, with a mild and quite weak dry finish with hops and a bit of citrus. Body is too light. Rather boring. 6/3/5/2/11=2.7

12 oz bot....slightly cloudy amber...beige head, that says I’ll see you later....sweet malty aroma, pecans barely show through, more of just general nuts....taste is more mocha than pecan...body is average to watery...the pecans had too much water added to them...a touch of lacing...... I had this beer with pecan pie, and well the pie showed up the beer, no compliments, how sad

Clear, dark amber body. Short, off-white head. The nose is grainy and biscuity with notes of caramel and nut. The flavor is moderately sweet and mildly bitter and lightly acidic. Medium body, slightly sticky, with a mildly bitter and dry finish.

Sweet roasted malt aroma. Dark brown color with ruby notes. Tan head that didn’t persist. Roasted malt with a slight sour aspect. Coffee candy flavor goes with the roasted malt. Hints of dark fruit. Better than many brown ales. The sour increases in the finish - maybe what others have seen as acid. Fairly tasty for a low bitter drink.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a small orange-white head. The aroma was sweet and tangy with an undercurrent of sour nut. The flavor was bitter and tangy with notes of maple and nut. There was a long oily nutty finish but the bitterness overwhelms the nut too much for this beer to be craveable - bonus points for inventiveness though.
