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.

Shorter stubby bottle. First taste is almost friendly fruity candy, with a bitter bite. Yes, somebody accidentally left the peels on these green unripened citrus fruits. Nice and hazy on pale is the eye. In the middle it starts to get unruly and sweet as well as perfumy, a little cloying. Yes, coconut and pineapple does not help here. Yes, this is what seems to be an aged IPA turned into a fruity. Rude ass finish, fer sher. In the end it almost wants to be one of those holiday spiced beers. Did not enjoy, just a tick. Tropical its not.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold color with a white head and good retention. No real lacing. Wheat aroma. Strong, bright (from the pilsner malt?) wheat base beer with a light citrus background flavor in the finish. Medium body and a long finish. An interesting mix, but not better.

Exactly what it says it is, for better or worse. As a holiday stout, you get all the normal winter warmer-esque spicing, although the nutmeg here is aggressive, to say the least. Bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, and caramel all add to a cola-ish middle, while the finish dries out nicely with a mildly pine-dusted bitterness. But the nutmeg...gets a tad too boisterous as the pint warms, leaving me a bit torn as to rating; the beer does what it's supposed to do, but I'm not a fan of what it's doing, so...3.5 seems right.
