Abita Mardi Gras Bock

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden color with excellent clarity and a dense, cream-colored head that adheres well to the glass walls. Fine carbonation produces a steady stream of bubbles, maintaining strong lacing throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Clean malt-forward nose with pronounced notes of pale and caramel malt that form the aromatic foundation. Subtle German noble hop character adds gentle herbal and slightly floral undertones without dominating, while the lager yeast contributes a soft, neutral backdrop.

◐ Geschmack

Full-bodied entry with rich malt sweetness from caramel and pale malts establishing a smooth, rounded character. Mid-palate shows balanced bitterness from Perle hops at a restrained level, allowing the malt complexity to remain prominent throughout. Finish maintains sweetness without cloy, with gentle hop bitterness gradually fading.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering malt warmth and subtle noble hop bitterness. A gentle 6.5% ABV presence rounds out the aftertaste without harshness.
