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.

Can, TWSP. Murky gold, soft off-white head. Light citrus, not overly-fresh smelling, pine. Flavor is citrus, pine, resin, lemon zest, soap. Fine, but does not stand out.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg, Øllets Day 2019. Pours cloudy coffee brown with airy light tan head. Mild aroma of malt and yeast, with coffeelike touches. Bitter, roasty flavour with notes of hops and nuts and sweetish touches of yeast and malt. Roasty and nutty aftertaste with estery hints. Tame. Drinkable and reasonable but much less than what used to. e the standard for the brewery. Go back to your no le roots, Abita.

Bottle as pictured. Average nose. Looks like a muddy hefe in the glass. Taste is fairly pleasant up front. Lemon comes thru in the middle. Sediment and floaters in the glass. Yes, co2 keeps the session lively. Pleasant & civilized. Not bad; interesting aftertaste. Probably could do another bottle of this. This beer almost needs to be listed as a fruit beer of some sort. Other than that, it does have some low alky belgian ale effects. Yes, went down fairly easy.

Golden with a thin, frothy head. Very little aroma—bready, a bit. Taste is blandly sweet, full of dough and grains. Mild, crisp bitterness at the end. Underwhelming. This is misclassified and should be a „Heller Bock“. An attempt at one anyway.

Draft at loca New Orleans restaurant we had gift card only tick available. Gold pour no head. Nose is thick strawberry syrup. Tastes similar I would’ve guessed a syrup but they say fresh harvest so really condensed strawberry flavor. A light lager underneath. Not much else but nothing else promised.
