Abita Jockamo IPA

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Covington, Louisiana USA

Bottle in Brooklyn. Nice amber body with sticky head. Sweet and watery nose. Rich, toffee flavoured with lots of fruit notes. Hops noticeable slightly up front, more pronounced in the finish. Enjoyable.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a hazy amber with particles floating in the beer. (hoping they’re hops) A finger of some nice white head, no lacing. The smell is a little sugary but is to too strong in the nose. A slight malt sweetness. The taste is hoppy but not to the extreme like expected. It does have some spicy citrus flavor and is pretty sweet. The feel is pretty light which was another thing that was unexpected. Is really drinkable and is quite enjoyable.

not a pleasure to drink, very malty, sweet, doesn’t taste like an ipa at all won’t drink this again

Bottle into a pint glass. Floral hops aroma. Has a bit of a bitter taste on the first taste bit the hops comes in at the end which is a little strange for most IPAs I have had. i also taste a deep roasted malt undertone at the end. Not sure I like it in an IPA. Kind of kills the ending. Not a bad beer, but not breaking my top 20 list.

Aroma: Floral hops with a touch of citrus, not much malt to balance it out. Sweetness is light, but it has some good notes of hops and medium bitterness. High carbonation, foamy in the mouth, very clean finish for an IPA.

Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Nose is of overripe fruit. Taste is of overripe fruit and a type of hops that i don’t like much. Mouthfeel is resinous and bitter.

Glowing copper-orange color with a big ice cream float head. Tons of carbonation. Looks other-worldly. Thick lace; head sticks around for a good long time. A rich and buttery sweet malt smell, topped by a flowery perfum of hops. The malt is roasted but not burnt or bitter. Excellent, beautifully balanced. Taste is perfumey, piney-as-hell hop taste. A tad sour from the hops, but not unpleasant. Strong hops, malt is almost undetectable. It’s a fine flavor, but very hop-intensive. Bitter and woody, wish it had a bit more sweetness or burnt malt to even it out. Bubbly and effervescent feel. Thick and creamy and even moreso as it warms. Very drinkable, though more bitter than expected. Unbalanced but a nice beverage nonetheless.

Appearance: Amber brown with a reasonable sized orange head. Aroma: Somewhat caramel, mild hops, it seems that it may be a little old, some ginger, lemon and yeast, the hops are there but fighting to get through. Flavour: Initially a lot of malt, then the caramel and hops follow through, quite a sticky mouth feel, like the rater below says - it’s a bit of a muddle. Not bad though, just confusing.
