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.

Very herbal and bright, offering up modest notes of citrus and tropical fruit, but also laced with resin and an unexpected floral streak. Finishes yeasty and estery, almost Belgian-ish. Weird pint.

Apple, orange, bready malt, and fresh hay aroma. Golden yellow with a moderate off white head. Mildly sweet citrus/apple, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter-astringent fresh hay flavor. Light body. On the light side but otherwise a decent bock. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Bock on 20 Mar 2015 at 21:07 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 4.5. Original review text: Bottle. Lactic caramel malt and alcohol aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet caramel malt and moderately bitter/astringent herbal alcohol flavor. At least it tries to be a bock (unlike Shiner Bock).

Heavy on the jelly flavor, subtle sweetness from the peanut butter to finish it. Funny, I taste the exact opposite of what Matt L. did πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

12 ounce bottle from Festival Northland, 2/16/21. Slightly hazy amber, medium foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of tart jammy fruits, peanut butter, white bread. Pretty spot on. Taste is caramel, peanut butter, Concord grape, berry. Medium bodied, slightly artificial but not too offputting. Decent. Mmkay... Rerate from the same bottle. Get's real artificial and off-putting. Not good
