COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The newest Abita brew takes its name and inspiration from the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans. Looking for Indians on Mardi Gras Day is a tradition for many New Orleans families. A cultural phenomenon familiar to residents of the Crescent City, the Mardi Gras Indians are not well known to outsiders and Abita is proud to help share their story with the world.

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured clear, amber with a nice white head; not too much lacing. Citrus aroma, a hints of malts and some fruits. Taste of caramel, malts a bit hoppy (not much) sticky dry finish. This is a very nice and drinkable IPA the kind you could drink all day.

Fantastic dry hopped IPA. Fruity, hoppy, complex. Best Abita I’ve tried thus far!

Lets put it this way, if they sold this in 30 boxes, I would have my fridge filled with them. Jockamo ipa isnt the best ipa iv’e had, but it is definitely an ipa that I could drink consistently throughout the day if I had to...great taste, aroma and its one ipa that is easy on your wallet...I definitely recommend this if you haven’t tried it.

Draught. Golden with white head. Aroma is citrus. Taste is mild malt, lots of citrus, hops. To be fair I drank while eating really hot wings, which I’ve found often over accentuates the fruity characteristics of IPA’s. Will have to try this again with a clean palate.

kevinsenn (583) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 16, 2013
Bottle. Pours hazy copper with white lacing. Light aroma of sweet grains and citrus fruits, with floral notes. Taste has caramel and bready malts - sweet initially - leading into floral, soapy, and fruity hops. Moderately bitter aftertaste. A "different" IPA, and quite enjoyable.

Citrus aroma, little to no malts. Malty influence on palate which works well with the hops

Wolfenkopf (154) - Villa Park, Illinois, USA - MAR 5, 2013
The aroma has to be the best thing about this brew. It is reminiscent of Hop Czar, but with more floral notes. Looks like an IPA should, nice and gold without being crystal clear. Adequate head: fluffy, not sudsy. The taste is also similar to the Czar, but it has a definite sweetness to the citrus. I just wish that the hop bitterness that compliments it was a bit stronger. The palate is not abused here by bitterness, if anything the brew is too gentle. The aftertaste is citrusy and hoppy. This was a surprisingly nice IPA.

On tap at Brians Backyard BBQ. Starts bitter and ends more bitter. Not my cup of tea. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

maekchu (1126) - Hirakata, JAPAN - MAR 2, 2013
Bottle from Publix supermarket in Athens. Sharp citrus, cookies ’n’ hops in the nose. Deep copper, rocky head. Smooth, not overdone, hoppy initial / fairly balanced mid / finish is quite tasty, with good hop tracks remaining. Medium body. The hops don’t jump out at you. Not a hopbomb. Well balanced and well made. No real faults, but not the most exciting of IPAs.
