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.

12 oz. can bought at Total Wine - Melbourne, FL. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Spots of lacing. Active carbonation. I guess that's strawberry I smell. Tastes like old strawberries, diacetyl and semi-flat malt liquor with an unclean finish. Medium body. I'm just not a fan of strawberry beers. At least the 8.0% ABV is fairly hidden.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of strawberries, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of strawberries, malt, and hops, leading to a dry finish. Just lacking the cream.
