The Abita brew pub has installed hand pumps! This is their first cask conditioned, hand pumped offering. Poured a very dark brown with an amber hue when held to the light. Tan head that persisted forever. There was still foamy head left when I finished the beer. Fruity nose of pear and apple. Taste of fruit, nut and spice, and just the slightest hint of cinnamon. Dry fruity/sweet finish with a hint peppery sweet spice. This was really good. I look forward to more cask conditioned brews from Abita.

May 12, 2008 On cask at the brewpub on 4/3/08. Big thick white head. Nose is malty, tangy, sweetish. Taste is very dry, sweet, musty. Noticeable alcohol. Not bad for the first batch-hoping for more casks in the future. An interesting beer to start off with though...
