Abita Select Double IPA

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Covington, Louisiana USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

Draft. Pours a clear copper amber color with a decent sized foamy white head. Citrus pine hops in the aroma. Flavor is fairly mild for a double IPA however. Not terrible, but not very exciting either. I was expecting and hoping for more bitterness in the finish.

Pretty good DIPA cept for the carbonation. Served with a thick, creamy, fine, off white head and good lace. Color is a clear amber with bubble streams. Aroma is mainly fresh hops, with malt, citrus, grass. Flavor is much the same as nose with bittersweetness out in front. Body is ok and carbonation is a bit flat. Finish is like flavor but needs the carbonation.

Pours amber, red, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, very easy to drink, overall very much enjoyed it

Draft¥ not overly hoppy. Nothing that stands outm overall a solid 2xIPA. Where the abv is not over powering the drinkability

Draft… Clear dirty-orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention. Loads of biscuit and caramel in the bouquet, but not much of a lupulin presence. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and jazzy carbonation. The flavor is balanced, but mundane, minerally and mostly lackluster. Finishes crisp and fairly clean.

Draft at pony bar with streets and Brendan. Pours a copper body with thin white lacing. Mouthfeel is thin. Aroma and flavor of sweet caramel malts, light hops.

on draft at Wine World, pours light amber with a thin white head. Aroma is strong citrus hop and grapefruit. Flavor is candied pear and grapefruit hop flavors with a little bit of a pine bitterness in the finish.
