There may already be a thread by our beer connisour DogtorEvil. Sorry, could not find it...
Just trying out random beers.
Abita's Big Easy - The lemon peel thing had me expecting something else so the first taste was surprise. After a few slow sips, it's not bad. I doubt I purchase another six pack.
Abita ipa is the absolute worst beer I have ever tasted.
Which one?Originally Posted by rabiddawg
Abita has a lot of good stuff but they are starting to suffer from Sam Adams Envy...just too many brands trying off-the-wall flavors and such.
No flavor. All I can say is I bought one of those sample 6 packs that had 3 different Abita beers in it. All 6 guys at the camp agreed the "ipa" was the nastiest thing they ever tasted. Heck I had to google ipa just to see what it stood for.
My son thinks it was the jockamo
They thankfully discontinued Jockamo....it was the worst...
This what I'm drinking while uploading this post.
IPAs are an acquired taste in many cases. If you're not a craft beer guy they can come across very badly on first taste. India Pale Ales have a very strong floral taste and high alcohol content.
The craft beer revolution has brought lots of IPAs into the public eye.
Give the Seersucker Summer Pils a shot. Pretty good Abita offering, imo. Also, Southern Drawl by Great Raft is a really solid local brew. It's my go-to weekend/yard work/honey-do list beer.
Thanks! This is what I was looking for.
Traveler's Grapefruit Shandy is pretty good.
I bet you miss Zima.
I hate you! When did you come off the bridge!
Where do you shop?
Can't find the Seersucker by Abita
I found the Southern Drawl. It was great. Wish they had it in a bottle.
Glad you liked the Southern Drawl! Most of Great Raft's beers come in cans. They do have 22 oz bombers of small batch and seasonal beers, but a lot of those are pretty out there with their flavor profiles and would be acquired tastes for most.
I typically go to Tiger Market on 18th and Forsythe, but sometimes I'll go to Tonore's or Vieux Carre Market on 18th. Since I've been living in WM the past few months, I've learned that the big new store on the corner of Cypress and Well Rd, as well as the store at the corner of Wallace and Cypress (next to J&H), both have good selections. I bet any of these would have the Seersucker.
Edit- Brookshires on 18th and on 165 both have solid selections since remodeling. They might be worth a shot too.

I try to spend on the West side when I can.Best selection and prices seem to be the Now Save on Cypress/Well Road. They had the Southern Drawl I checked there, Cypress/Wallace, and Cypress/Downing Pines. None of them had the Seersucker in stock. I'll check over here in Monroe where they speak English.
