[edit] Still use cane syrup?

I just got a bottle of Abita Root Beer in CA, and the label shows Cane Sugar on both the front label and the ingredient list. Yet I read here...

The company also produces Abita root beer, which is unique in being sweetened with raw cane syrup, as opposed to sugar or corn syrup. The company runs a brewpub in Abita Springs.

Is this still true? --Jake 04:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The brew pub is still in existance, I don't know about the syrup. -- Infrogmation 16:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Pretty sure Cane Syrup is the first product produced from Sugar cane. It is then refined into Cane Sugar and then further bleached into regular old sugar. Troyag 18:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! This article is now part of THREE wiki projects! Pretty darn good for an article that was QUICK DELETED a mere two weeks ago for being "blatant spam"! ("I started the appeal of the deletion", Fish Man declares proudly!  ;) ) -Fish Man

[edit] Andygator

Andygator is a Barley Wine, NOT a dopplebock. It is fermentedto over 10% alc, not distilled, which is why it's not classified as malt liquor. 68.114.122.229 (talk) 16:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)SH

"Barlywine" is simply a nickname for any Beer or Ale that has a wine-like high alcohol content. "Barlywine" does not refer to any particular breweing or fermenting process. Andygator is a "barlywine" because of its high alcohol content. It is also, absolutely a dopplebock by virtue of its ingredients and brewing process! As is traditional, almost all dopplebock's have names that end with the suffix "-ator". Hence the name, Andygator. Fish Man (talk) 14:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Additional note: Dopplebocks typically run between 8% - 11% alcohol. Therefore, most Dopplebocks are "Barleywines". However, there are many other beer types that fall into the category "Barleywine". As noted above, Andygator absolutely is a dopplebock by virtue of its recipe and process. Abita acknowledges this via it's traditional dopplebock naming style: Andygator.

[edit] Turbo Dog

One anonymous poster changed the type for "Turbo Dog" to "Porter". Abita's web site, as well as the printed copy on the bottle lable and 6-packs is unambiguous about Turbo Dog being an "English Style Brown Ale". This is the same type of brew as Newcastle Brown Ale, for example. Turbo Dog is on the dark side for a brown ale due to the deep roasted malts Abita uses in it. Fish Man (talk) 14:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
