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.

Not A Complex Beer
Taste turned out not to be as hoppy as I would have liked. This beer has a weird after taste that I can't identify. Starts out sweet when it touches your lips and it hits you with a bitter finish. The sweet candy taste upfront and vegetables in the back end. This isn't a complex beer and it is nothing to write home about.
