Beer 33 - Abita Save Our Shore

August 20, 2010 - Beer 33
Abita Brewing SOS (Save Our Shore)
Brewed in Abita Springs, LA, USA bought at H E B Grocery, Houston, TX drunk at Home in Katy, TX on arriving home after helping Sofia move into her freshman dorm at the University of Texas in Austin.
This is a special 650 ml (1 pint 6 ozs) bottle. The bottle says "this Abita brew is a message in a bottle, a distress signal for the troubled waters of our Gulf Coast. For every bottle sold Abita will donate $0.75 to the rescue and restoration of the environment, industry and individuals fighting to survive this disastrous oil spill. Want to do more? Visit Abita.com"
There is also a description of the beer on the bottle "this unfiltered Weizen pils is made with Pilsner and wheat malts. It is hopped and dry hopped with Sterling and German Perle hops. It has a brilliant gold color, a sweet malt flavor and a pleasant bitterness and aroma."
The descriptionis succinct and accurate. The beer was very pleasant after the long day. Flavor and smell made the beer interesting and enjoyable, and I contributed to a good cause. :-)
