Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Abita Christmas Ale

Abita Christmas Ale
Last I checked with Abita, drank their Restoration Pale Ale. Thought it was fairly bland. This is a major rally. One of the more interesting beers I've sampled recently. Hops and malt both pop. Serious smoky flavor. Detecting bits of spruce and something bacony (seriously). Wonderfully complex!

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Abita Restoration Pale Ale

Abita Restoration Pale Ale
Bought this beer because I really liked the six-pack art and buying into anything New Orleans makes me feel cooler. Jazz. Mardi Gras. The television show Treme. Ragging on George W. Bush. I love it all. However, this beer was a major letdown. Hops were weak. Flavor was nonexistent.
