AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Mar 8, 2009 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. Elwood (657), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Mar 6, 2009 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. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Feb 28, 2009 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. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Feb 27, 2009 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. dkachur (2316), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Feb 25, 2009 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. tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Feb 25, 2009 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. kiefdog (1543), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 22, 2009 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. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Feb 21, 2009 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.
