About
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.

355ml bottle into shaker. Pours murky brown with an enormous frothy head. Nose is dark caramel toffee. Medium bodied, smooth texture. Flavour starts sweet then has a lingering bitterness in the finish. Interesting brown ale. Much higher ABV than some English brown ales but just as easy drinking.

From Jul 2008

I got this bottle in a trade with DLucky. Thanks Dan!

It pours a nice clear orange gold with a 2 finger head of foam.

The smell has good notes of citrus and floral hops with some caramel malt thrown in the give some sweetness. I like the nose.

The taste is at first very bitter with the citrus and floral hops but mid palate, I get some good caramel sweetness along with some earthy malt goodness. It finishes with both some bitterness and some sweetness and the aftertaste is mostly bitter. I'd be tempted to call this an English Style IPA.

A nice brew here. Good medium mouthfeel, medium carbonation, a pretty solid balance between the flavours and quite drinkable. Nice job Abita!
Btw, the head retention was quite good and the lacing was as well.

bottle - Gold pour, aroma of citrus and resin hops. It tastes moderately bitter with some citrus and a bready, sort of toasty malt character. Light, decent, unremarkable.
