ABITA SPRING IPAGoodbye winter! Food Loves Beer Editors ABITA SPRING IPA Even for those of us who love winter, it’s always a joyous day when spring finally arrives. We’re happy not only for the warmer days and budding trees, but for the abundance of great seasonal offerings from brewers throughout the land. One of our favorites is Abita Spring IPA, a cheery apricot hued beer that is as balanced as the daylight of its season. Grapefruit and peach aromas entice the senses first while freshly baked bread and caramel notes linger in the background. The flavor is very fruit-forward, with a pleasant combination of citrus rind bitterness and a ripe apricot and red plum malt backbone. Grassy hops and a dry, mineral finish are carried by medium carbonation, with just a hint of the beer’s strength peaking through. Serve in a pint glass or Lüttich balloon glass at 40-45 F.
Suggested Food Pairings: The fresh flavors of Abita Spring IPA pair well with Maytag Blue, spicy Thai curry, and the honey sweetness of baklava. Food Loves Beer taste tested and recommended!

SOUTHERN TIER MOKAHThis brew just might make you bid your barista farewell. Food Loves Beer Editors SOUTHERN TIER MOKAH Perhaps no other beer better delivers on the promise of its name than Mokah, a seasonal offering in Southern Tier’s Blackwater Series of imperial stouts. A delicate and short-lived beige head rises from this dense black elixir as the glass fills, carrying with it enticing aromas of iced coffee, malted milk balls and, of course, creamy mocha. The flavor is the perfect balance of fine chocolate and full-bodied coffee, with just the right touch of hops to remind you that this is still a beer. The mouthfeel is rich and luxurious, with light carbonation and a roasted bitterness that keeps everything in harmony. Once you taste Mokah, you may never wait in line for your morning cup of Joe again. Serve in a snifter or tulip glass at 45-50 F.
Suggested Food Pairings: Molten lava cake and pecan pie are sweet delights that pair nicely with this beer. Try adding a scoop of French vanilla ice cream to a glass of this imperial stout for a decadent Mokah Float. Food Loves Beer taste tested and recommended! Springtime is greens time, and this quick salad is sure to impress.
