Mardi Gras Clones
Fat Tuesday comes around in February each year. And, as a homebrewer, you may be in the mood for something other than a hurricane. If so, try making these clones of Louisiana-based beers from Abita and Dixie.
Labatt Brewing Company: Labatt Blue clone
The world’s best selling Canadian Beer, with a distinct hop aroma, delicate fruit flavor, and slightly sweet aftertaste.
Flying Dog Brewery Tire Bite Golden Ale clone
This golden-straw colored ale is a German-style Kölsch that is light, grassy, and refreshing. Perfect for summer.
Three Floyds Brewing Company: Alpha King clone
A bold yet balanced American pale ale with slight caramel sweetness and aggressive citrus hoppiness.
Abita Brewing Company Turbodog
Turbodog, one of Abita’s flagship brews, is a dark brown ale with a rich body and a sweet, toffee-like flavor.
Rogue Ales: Hazelnut Brown Nectar clone
A nutty twist to a traditional European Brown Ale. Dark brown in color with a hazelnut aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a smooth malty finish
