COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Abita’s Select India Pale Ale (IPA) beer Our English IPA is made with British pale and light crystal malts. It gives the beer a bright pale color and malty flavor. It also produces a very strong taste. It is hopped liberally with English Kent Golding Hops. This results in the beer having a pleasant bitter taste and fruity hops aroma. The extra bitterness will mix with the strong sweet flavor from the malt for a very balanced tasting beer. The result is a very bold and flavorful pale ale. Food Pairings Our IPA is a strong beer that compliments a number of dishes very well. It is excellent with choice cuts of meat, such as steak, lamb and pork chops. Our beer stands up well with the strong flavors from these meats. The beer’s spicy hop flavor also pairs with spicy dishes like jambalaya and blackened meats and seafoods.

Draft at brewpub. Amber color with thin head. Good hop aroma and flavor mixed with flavorful malt. Had a glass of this with the chicken and sausage gumbo. Stood up well to the spicyness of the gumbo and tabasco. I like this beer a lot.

Draft at Lager’s in Metairie. Medium amber boy with little head. Even through all the smoke the aroma is crisp and hoppy with herbal, grassy notes. The flavor is hoppy but not overpowering; nice citrus and piney character. A light maltiness rounds out the flavor nicely. Finishes dry and sweet. This is a well-made IPA.
