I've seen it, but generally, Abita's beers don't hold much appeal for me. There are tons of better things going on in the local beer scene than Abita these days.
I haven't tried that one yet, but I did have a LA 31 Ragin' Cajun a couple days ago and it was very good.
I have had it and its one of the better new Abita brews in a while. Also, its exclusive to Louisiana per all their marketing of it.
I have to agree with most here though, there is much better beer going on in Louisiana right now than Abita. Great Raft, Nola, LA-31, Parish, etc. are all better beer in my opinion. Some years ago, Abita went through a process of ramping up production to meet their popular and uncontested demand and in turn they went through period where the product was very inconsistent. You could get an amber that was the best you had ever had and then get one that was downright undrinkable. This happened to align with the time when Nola Brewing was starting up and in turn, I moved on from Abita and didn't go back for a while. It is still pretty low on my list now though I have to say, they have gotten past their issues.

For example, last week I picked up a growler of wet-hopped Urban South IPA. (wet hopped is a process where fresh hops, as opposed to the usual dried are dropped in the beer for a few days after kegging). It was a fantastic fresh flavor.
I bought a sixer of it a couple of weeks ago. It was ok, but not something I'll get again most likely.
I agree that there's a lot of good things going on in state other than Abita. But as someone who thinks drinking an IPA is as enticing as chewing a Tylenol, a lot of what is out there is too hoppy and an over saturation of pale ales.
Abita should package their Macchiato into six packs. That may be one of the best beers I've ever had, but they don't package it and I haven't seen it at a restaurant in a while. Damn shame too.
NOLA's Irish Channel Stout and Darkest Before Dawn are very good too. But then again, stouts and porters are my brews of choice.
Gnarley Barley has a great milk porter that they sell in the large bottles and is on draft in some places. Give it a try if you have a chance. Also, Great Raft's Reasonably Corrupt is a black lager that is great. It drinks like a lighter porter/stout. Great Raft also has a special run called "All of my tomorrow's" that is really good.
I agree on the hops situation, I will drink IPAs, but lean towards other beers first.
