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.

Jesus…a Fruity Pebbles bomb? Imperial Juicy Fruit? What a weird, overly sweet, Blow Pop-ish monster IPA. Lots of corn sugar on the back end, odd fruit flavors on the front. Hides the booze well, at least. Not sure what I thought a 10% Abita IPA, but no way in hell I expected this.

Bottom of the can says 23094 so...94th day of 2023?

It pours a beautiful clear deep amber with a healthy head of foam, nice lacing.

The smell is grainy malt, fruity, sweet, perhaps, some oxidation going on.

The taste is grainy, oxidation definitely there as in a maltiness that is on the older side. No real bitterness, more sweet and cardboard like flavours.

Good mouthfeel. Too bad that this is old.

35,5cl can from K-Citymarket Ruoholahti, Helsinki. Pours slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Mild grainy and fruity aroma with citrusy notes and hints of grass. Moderate sweet, light in body and flavour and a light, but pleasant bitterness. Feels a bit watery, but drinkable enough.
