Feb 22, 2008 This is the second "Mardi Gras" themed beer I’ve had this year. The first being Lost Abbey Carnevale Ale. ( Which is an interesting trend.) 12oz twist-off bottle. Pours a light amber color, white foamy head. Aroma of a pale lager. Light aroma of caramel. Hints of corn. Flavor is rich and malty. Not necessarily sugary, but the flavor consists of a rich cereal, malted barley. Rich flavored and somewhat medium bodied. Pleasant bitterness to follow. I am rather impressed with this offering.

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.

Jul 17, 2002 gold and bubbly. (although I was expecting a dark color, this is more of a maibock thing) has that characteristic Abita ’clear water’ taste in the background - it works this time - mellows out the super sweet malts. this is very nice.

Apr 29, 2003 A deep golden body is topped by a thick white lasting head with lots of lace left on the glass. Slightly sour grainy malt aroma with slight yeasty and wheaty notes. Slighty sweet yet bitter flavor. Very plain. The finish is bitter sweet. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Jan 7, 2005 I’ve traded this beer away about six times and never got around to trying it...pour golden with a thin khaki head...smell is sweet with lemons and a little grainy...taste is sweet with a strange wheat thing going on toward the finish...a little bitter toward the finish...not great at all...

May 28, 2007 Abita Mardi Gras Bock
Date: 4/25/2007
Event: Junedale Beer Klub - April Beer Tasting (Maibocks)
Serving: 12 oz bottles shared by __?__.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Light malts with some vanilla and cream.
Appearance: Clear amber/brown color with a diminishing off-white head. Mild level of carbonation and some lacing is also present.
Flavor: Grainy malts, vanilla/cream, slightly buttery as well.
Palate: Soft, mellow, smooth, and clean.
Overall: Many Abita brews seem to have a similar "grainy" quality to them as well. This beer is drinkable, but seems to be lacking somewhat.

Mar 20, 2005 Tap. Mild caramel malted nose. Very mild aroma. Transparent copper color with vitrually no head. Caramelly, buttered popcorn notes turning roasted and cereal-like---cheerios. Yup, lots of cheerios in this to finish. Kinda bland. Blegh.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Grainy, mashy, sweet, yeasty, dusty, mostly pale malt nose.Deep orange pour with a pretty, creamy beige head. Some purple grape and booze showing in the taste, otherwise yeast and sweet malt, a touch of candy and caramel but finishing a bit too grainy. Medium body with some mint. Eh.
