Abita Bock

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.

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.

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.

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.

tan amber colored pours a swift forming off white head. aroma is grassy and yeast. caramel grassy flavor and a medium light mouth feel. not the best from Abita.

Pours an off-white head with a golden amber body. Smells of yeast, sweet, and barnyard. Flavor is caramel and yeast. Hint of bitterness on the finish.

Bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a dense 2 finger off-white head that faded fast but still left spotty lacing. The nose is light caramel malt and grassy hops. Taste is pretty much the same with some nutty flavor mixed in. Lighter mouthfeel. Just like most Abita brews – uninteresting.

Pours amber with a short lived offwhite head. Smell is malty with a slightly tart, fruity, doughy, biscuity zing to it, like heller bocks tend to have, to me anyway. Taste is fairly thin with some of the same almost doughy, sticky fruit flavors, but very lightly so. Fairly watery and slightly sweet. This is a pretty unremarkable beer, but drinkable.
