Abita Wrought Iron IPA, alc. 6.9% by vol. India Pale Ale, brewed and bottled by Abita Brewing Company, Abita Springs, Louisiana.
Appearance: slightly hazed, golden/amber coloring, large and lovely, white as the driven snow head. Beautiful.
Aroma: Mango. Passion fruit. Guava. Pineapple. It's a tropical fruit salad in the nose.
Taste: a bitter hop assault from the start, a barrage on the palate. Hop bitterness pounds, mellows, and moves on. Lean bodied, medium fruity finish. With each fresh sip, another bitter blast, cool refreshment…ah, that's the stuff.
Simply put, that's where it's at. Go drink one, I say.
What's the label tell us? "Abita Wrought Iron IPA embodies the resilient, indestructible nature of New Orleans. This India Pale Ale is forged with the intensity of Apollo, Equinox and Mosaic hops. Brewed with pale ale malt for a golden color as light as iron from a fiery forge."
