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.

One weird-ass IPA, to the point I’m not sure I’d name it an IPA if tasted blind. Kind of a boozy strong ale vibe, lots of honey sweetness mixed with caramel and fruit punch, offset by a subtle wild-yeast funkiness that makes me wonder if there’s some secondary fermentation occurring in the can. Not awful, but definitely not one for repeat consumption.

Bottle. Murky mdeep golden color with thick white head. Aroma of bready malt, honey, toasty notes, light candies, no hops detectable. Taste is bready malty, sweet, slightly oxidized, candies, toasted malt, touch of noble hops in finish. Alcohol is well hidden.

Can for 2 bucks at chalet. Strawberry nose. Odd hazy pale viscous look. First taste is strawberry fer sher, a little artificial at that. A bit cloying, reminds me of many pastry beers. Difficult. Just a little carbonation. Can't really pick out the alky in this but the warming sensation lets you know its there. As I recall, the original andy gator was quite difficult as well. This stuff also comes across like a cheaper malt likker or american ice beer, except that it has a layer of cheap strawberry flavoring layered on top. Ok for a tick or a little brain numbing, but I wouldn't buy this stuff again. There, you have it. Finishes like mouthcoating artificial fruit syrup and treacly nastiness.

A soft tan head on a deep brown body. The nose leads with coffee, a vegetal undertaste, malt and bitter chocolate. some nice tastes going on here; If this was richer and more dense, it could be a top two percenter. Dark berries, molasses, mild coffee, chocolate, coconut macaroons, damp wood, and bourbon create a nice blend. Nice tastes.
