Abita (Mardi Gras) Bock is a very good beer. It has a fine, fruity aroma, attractive tan appearance, and as for flavor, it has just the right blend of hops, giving it a good, bitter taste. Abita beer feels good in the mouth as one sips it. Nice body. Overall, this is an excellent product. Goes well with crackers or seafood.

Dec 24, 2009 Pours with a nice maibock color and a masssive white head. Bready malty smells... a watery round mouthfeel with the flavor held in the center. Decent quaffing beer, but light in flavor for a bock. Refreshing.

Nov 8, 2009 Hazy, honey-colored orange. Short-lived head. Color changes to a dark yellow as it thins out. The color looks awfully attractive.
Some nice flowery pale malts in the aroma. Mild German (Hallertau?) hops. A couple citrusy notes but not sure if it’s the hops.
Really nice combo of the dry, flaky pale malts and sweetish puckery citrus. Actually a fine combo; the hops add a sweetness and a tart finish.
The feel is creamy and a tad bubbly. Thicker than expected, but certainly not a choker. It’s a substantial drink with lots of summery, tree-fruit notes. Very very nice.

Jul 28, 2009 A clear lager, light amber colored bock, with a heavy half head of white foam. The beer smells like farm grain and little bit of skunky hops. It tastes like spice malt and hay. Fizzy texture. A finish thats malty enough to make me want to puke.

Jul 3, 2009 Pours clear copper with a short, fizzy white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is floral, soapy and slightly boozy. A bit metallic as well. The flavor follows with the overall taste being floral and metallic with some booze on the finish. Thin mouthfeel.

Jun 24, 2009 Pours rich amber with very little head and what was there is gone in 30 seconds. Caramel and sweet fruit such as peach, plum and apple is the aroma along with some roast malt. Taste is toasty, malty and pretty sweet but not sticky. The body is pretty good, but overall it’s decent.

Jun 23, 2009 This copper ale poured with a fluffy off-whtie head and a toffee aroma. There is a reasonably good caramel malt base and enough hopping to provide a balance of bitterness. It’s pretty ho-hum, but drinkable.

Jun 20, 2009 Bottle from BevMo in Elk Grove, CA. As Abita Mardi Gras Bock. Pours a light orange gold color with a moderate white head. Aromas of noble hop and caramel. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is caramel with nobel hop, kind of like an amber pilsner. Ends mildly sweet with supporting bitter. Not bad.
