Bottled? Abita by a mile
Draft? Covington by 1000 miles

From what I have been told, the Abita is made from strawberries as they come in season, and Covington is made from an artificial syrup. I prefer the Abita in taste, and this info makes me enjoy it more. It's a special seasonal beer, not something I can get year round.

You are correct but they are all beers and sorry didn't mean to offend your hipster beer sensitivities by mis categorizing fruit "brews".

Both are pretty bad to me. If I had to choose, it would be Abita.

Covington tastes like strawberry syrup and upon seeing the post above, I am not surprised to know it is. Gross.

Covington on tap is way better than the Abita

Bottled...eh, not so much.

Covington is much better on tap than in a bottle. I prefer Abita in a bottle.
