Very clear amber with a white head. Spicy yeasty aroma with sulfer/ burnt rubber. Light/ medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Decent grainy malt, lightly sweet caramel flavor. Not too bad.

12 oz. bottle labeled as Mardi Gras Bock. Pale copper color with the smallest of white heads. I had a little trouble picking up the nose on this one. What I could find included malt and some banana notes. Light on the tongue with decent carbonation. Definite banana and bread notes on the palate. Some malt, fruit, and grain come through as well. A very mild hop bitterness at the end. It finished very clean but just a little quite for my tastes. Not bad, but there are better versions of this style.

Listed as Abita Mardi Gras. Pours with a small, off-white head and a clear bronze body. Aroma is weak with honey, light spice and bread. Taste is malt, honey, watery with some notes. Fizzy mouthfeel. A bit watery.

Amber red color. Small head, but lasts decently long. Sweet smelling yeast aroma. Caramel tasting malts and nice carbonation. Watery mouth feel. Overall just kinda boring.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear reddish color with a 2-finger head. Decent head retention and fair lacing. Aroma is bready and toasty malts with some syrupy fruit notes. Taste is very grainy toasted malts with a touch of caramel and stone fruits. Medium bodied. Bitter hop finish.

Aroma is light, cereal grains, malts, bread. Light brown in color, closer to the pale side. Malty, grainy flavor, a little sour. Meium mouthfeel. Finish was sour, unremarkable. Not great, especially for this style.

12oz bottle from package store in New Orleans. Pours a generally clear copper color with a white foamy head that settles slowly and laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of grass, hay, yeast, sour overripe fruit, some hints of honey and hay. Flavor is sweet and somewhat malty with notes of grain, yeast, bread, some fruit and nut flavors. Generally light body with sour and unpleasant finish.

Had as a bottle poured into a pint glass. It was a light brown color with a thin white head. A bready malt aroma, with the taste of caramel malt sweetness mainly coming through. This is a nice session beer.
