On the same trip to Asheville when I picked up the Ninja Porter (See #14), I also picked up a bomber sized Abita Andygator from a local Ingles. Abita (http://www.abita.com) is a brewery based out of Louisiana, a little north of Nawlins. This brew is classified as a maibock or helles dopplebock, all of which is foreign to me, but I did look forward to drinking.
At 8% ABV, it packs a decent sized punch. Looking back at my notes, the biggest note was that I couldn't finish it all. I wasn't sure if it was because I tried to drink the Porter and the Andygator back-to-back, which would have left me hurting just a tad (I'm liking this experience of drinking beer, but I'm continuing to maintain a low tolerance). The other fact could have been that I just didn't like the beer all that much. It's very rare for me to not finish a beer. Aside from that, there was nothing really memorable about this beer.
Grade: D+
Price Paid: $4.50 (22 oz bottle)
