COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Abita Red Ale is a traditional red ale. It is brewed with British pale and crystal malts, Liberty hops and an ale yeast imported from Ireland. This ale has a rich ruby color, lacy collar, pronounced caramel flavor and is a tad "hoppier" than our other brews. Available March thru June.

Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 15, 2006
(Bottle 35,5 cl) Now simply known as "Abita Red Ale". Pours a beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Malty, caramelish aroma. Medium body with lots of caramel and some fresh, nutty accents. The good quality aroma hops leave some fruit but only a discreet bitterness. Lovely. 310306

Cornfield (5277) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - SEP 14, 2004
UPDATED: JUN 27, 2006 The hoppiest of the Abitas, this is one sweet drink. Rich red coloring with solid carbonation and a respectable if short lived head, it has a good, tart aroma. There’s a pleasantly bitter mouthfeel with a full malty flavor. Clean aftertaste. Too bad it’s a seasonal brew.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 7, 2004
Clear amber with a moderate bone colored head. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of dry grassand caramel. Dry grainy flavors. Reminds me of a mix of barley, corn, oats and molasass that we would feed the cows at milking time. Light lasting bitterness at the finish coupled with a touch of sweetness.
