Notes:
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 bright as iron from a fiery forge.

Disclaimer I am not a big IPA person. I will try them and I have found some I have thoroughly enjoyed. This is not a bad IPA just not one that I prefer. I think most IPA drinkers will enjoy this beer.

This beer is a nice golden amber tone, the hops are there and quite bitter but crisp. This isn’t a fruity IPA, and that’s great, a nice change of pace beer that goes great with a gumbo or jambalaya.

Hazy amber appearance with a medium size, off white head and good lacing. Aroma of soft fruit and sweet grains. Flavor is moderately sweet but nicely balanced by resinous hops up front and a fruitier aftertaste. Creamy, medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with an average length finish. Good bargain.

Not only is this brewed for New Orleans. It smells and possibly tastes like the streets of New Orleans. Not even a pressure washing crew could remove this foulness from my mouth. Just a bad IPA. Sour, green, the yeast choice, just all of it is one BIG EASY NO! This beer puts the NO in NOLA.

Appearance:
Light amber, slight haze. Medium rising bubbles. Thick creamy head. Very good head retention.
Aroma:
Malty, caramel, some citrus, herbal.
Taste/Finish/Body:
Malt forward, sweet bread, caramel, butter-scotch. Hop bitterness is medium, herbal-leafy, a little citrus. Bitter-sweet finish, dry, lingers fairly long. Medium bodied, crisp, a little alcohol burn, fairly sharp carbonation.
Overall:
Taste more like an English IPA, but I really enjoy this one!

I think Wrought Iron IPA was a pretty good IPA. I had a few within the last few days in Louisiana.
Look: golden with an inch thick white head
Aroma: caramel, floral, pine
Taste: The flavor is toasty bread, caramel, grapefruit, orange, ending in a dry bitterness pine resin and grapefruit rind.
Body/Overall: light to medium body, medium bitterness, well balanced, IBU 80, I think it is good.

Aged hoppy aroma. Dried leaves, caramel malts, some fruity esters. Flavor is citrus hops, fruit, raisins, caramel malts. Tastes a bit old. Finishes bitter and dry.

Smell has a grassy funk that is not to my liking as does the taste. Bottle has best by date that's over a month from now but no brew date so not sure if how fresh it is. I don't think it's spoiled I just don't like the taste or smell.
