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.

Pours a heavily carbonated reddish brown with a persistent coke-like head. Aroma of brown ale malt. Taste is sweet and malty, with a distinct herbal note. The palate continues this note, extending it to the nose and blending in earthy malt notes. Good brown.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz. bottle labeled “Mardi Gras Bock”.

AROMA: Slightly sweet with scents of bread dough, malt, and caramel.

APPEARANCE: Pours a golden, clear amber with a tall, white head that dissipates slowly

TASTE: Slightly sweet with flavors of bread and caramel.

PALATE: Medium-bodied but just a tad on the thin side. Carbonation is average. Finish is dry and has a (very) slight antiseptic taste.

OVERALL: Better than your average “grocery store” beer, but by no means is a “great” beer. This is a beer that I would label as “premium pool party beer”. Meaning, people would be very impressed if you served this at your next pool party, but it would not impress your beer aficionados friends.

12 Fl Oz bottle (as Mardi Gras Bock) on 2nd Mar 2019 while staying with my daughter in Orange County, California. Clear and clean amber body, thin and wispy white head. Cinder Toffee aroma, sweet malty molasses in the flavour with caramel notes to the fore. Bought in a Trader Joe's, cooled and drank after a huge Pizza; I am stuffed, but still enjoying this beer as I write this, it's like my dessert I suppose.

12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Oak Creek, 2/13/19. Hazy amber, large foamy white head, good retention. Arroma of orange creamsicle with some piney hops. Taste is candied orange, pine, citrus, a hint of tartness. Thin-medium bodied, mild lingering tartness and bitterness. A little odd, not terrible.
