Abita

Boasting "pure Louisiana cane sugar" on its label, Abita may be the last word in southern comfort.

John: A rich luxurious scent like syrup floats from the bottle, and the taste follows: too syrupy, too sweet, spiked with a tiny suggestion of mint and anise. A bit too heavy for this reviewer. **

Jo: With the tease of having 'pure Louisiana cane sugar', this beverage should be called 'Boring Cane Sugar Soda". Too syrupy and a sweet flavor, but not root-beery enough. The title says it all: it's just "a-bit-a" root beer flavor. **

FRED: ALMOST LIKE ROOT BEER. BORING. **
