Abita Purple Haze

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Covington, Louisiana USA

Serve in Flute

Hazy peach pour with a one finger white head and very lively carbonation in the body. The aroma is floral fruit, raspberry, nectar, peach, and apricot. The flavor is very crisp wheat malt, fresh raspberries, and a mild bready note. Not too much to speak of. The palate is quite thin with lots of effervescence in the body and a dry crisp finish.

Fruity hefeweizen aroma. Cloudy golden color with a large white head. Sweet raspberry flavor that gets mildly bitter finish.

I’ve seen this beer in a lot of bars, but have passed on many times. I guess my instincts have been right all along. The aroma isn’t too fruity at all and the appearance is rather light. There’s nothing really great about this beer, but it’s better then any typical light beer.

I had this as a draft at the Wrigleyville Rooftops during a cubs game. Rasberry flavored, poored a light amber. very sweet, too sweet for my liking. Fruity

Hazy orange color with suspended solids evident; foamy white head and some lacing. Faint aroma of wheat, like a hefe; very little berry smell. Taste is kind of similar, with no discernable elements present except a bit of sour. Thin and carbonated. Overall not bad; I could drink it, but why would I want to? Nothing exciting here.

Poured from a bottle. I’m not too fond of the fruit beer style, but this one was decent enough. A bit too watery... could have been stronger on both the "beer" taste and raspberry taste.

Watered down malt and wheat taste though very pungent. Nasty skunky aftertaste. Mouthfeel was overcarbonated. Wasn’t a drinkable beer. I had trouble drinking the entire bottle. It had a value macro-lager rather than a flavored wheat beer taste to it. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 03-05-2007 00:25:44

Nice beer. Aroma is distinct raspberry. Pours a cloudy orange w/ off white head. Smooth raspberry taste.
