3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2009 THIS BEER IS REFRESHING and different for a bock. of course i know abita to use their own take on most brew styles and this is an example. happily this is a pretty good beer it is moderately tasty, slicky sweet, substantive enough with malt and has an almost moderate hops and citrus fruit flavor that is enjoyable. there is a cold, clean and clear water mouthfeel and taste to their beers that i have noticed and find myself looking for now, because it is intruiging chiefly since the flavor and alcohol are not weak.

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.

On tap at Lunar Brewing Co., with "Mardi Gras Bock" on the handle. Dispensed to a shaker with a clear, deep, golden amber hue, fairly lasting, off white head foam, and dots and dashes of lacing. The aroma was lightly toasted malt, some graininess, a little yeast, and a bit of pils scent. The flavor added some low hop bitterness and a hint of sweetness, in a medium to light body. Not overly thrilled, but a decently drinkable Helles.

Pours a copper color with basically no head. Smell is biscuity with a little bit of fruit and hops. Taste follows the aroma a lot of malt. Not much hop presence in the beer. Even though this beer is half a year old, it still tastes pretty good to me. One of the better Abita brews I have tried.

Nice maibock. 12 oz. bottle to lager glass. Pours copper with white short-lived head, small amount of lacing. Initial impression is fruit and bread. Very nice smooth brew in the mouth. Some bitter on the tongue with a light malt in the finish. Not spectacular, but very drinkable.
