Orangish brown glow, nice sized off white head. Smells of wheat. Decent lacing. Tastes like a loaf of bread that has been sitting next to raspberries in a cupboard.

Pours bright golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of raspberry and wheat. Taste is lightly sweet with notes of dull wheat flavor and raspberry extract. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with lively carbonation.

Abita Purple Haze is a cloudy golden ale with particles. The elastic white head has good retention and lacing. It has a very raspberry aroma with notes of lemony wheat and dough. It is light bodied; smooth and crisp, with a clean finish. The flavor isn’t dominated by raspberry like the aroma is. There isn’t really any bitterness to speak of. There are notes of lemon and dough to reflect the aroma. There’s is an appropriate amount of raspberry, but it seems a bit artificial. Drink this when it’s hot and humid.

Bottle. Hazy honey color and quickly dissapating head, Rasberries in the nose and a thin mouthfeel.

12oz from Publix in Spring Hill, FL. It actually doesnt look bad...pours a cloudy honey color with a thin white head that diminishes to nothing. There is barely any aroma...a bit of yeast, maybe a touch of citrus, maybe a hint of raspberry. Flavor? What Flavor? This beer is virtually flavorless. Tastes like seltzer water. Easy to drink...but way too carbonated...This beer is awful. Not enough flavor to actually enjoy...and too carbonated to drink in bulk.

WTF. I don’t taste anything. Fruity beers are definitely not my favorite, but I can’t say that I didn’t like this because of that. I was prepared not to like this because it tasted like blackberry, but I tasted nothing. No bacckberry, and honestly no beer. thouroughly tasteless.

Melon and some berry. That’s it, this entire beer is those two flavors. In fact, sometimes it tasted like some sort of liqueur. Disappointingly watery and had the general character of a light beer. Conclusion: MEH
