Abita Purple Haze

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

Sampled @ Hallandale beer fest (bottle). Hazy gold color, hey where’s my purple haze? Faint candy aroma. Soda pop flavors--nasty! Thin, insubstantial, almost offensive invocation of Jimi.

Not one of my favorites. It pours a very hazy goldenrod with a good size head which leaves little to no lacing. It is beyond mild...very little malt or hops flavor comes through and the raspberry is only briefly noticeable at the very front and very back of the sip. On the bright side, it is very smooth with no lingering taste. On the whole, the experience was entirely forgetable. Very bland, very simple, nothing worth trying again.

I enoy this beer...refreshing and different. Somewhat thin wheat beer with a light kiss of raspberry. Perfectly masks the alcohol taste with a flowery and slightly fruity/bitter finish.

Bottle. Dark golden hazy pour w/ little lacing. Nothing about this offering overpowers you, which is some aspects is a good thing. I like to mix these in my cooler every once in awhile just for something different. Goes down smooth and easy.

Pours hazy dark golden, moderate quickly dissipating head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, with a soft raspberry background. Flavor is light malt and raspberry. No detectable bitterness. but very clean finish. Light and refreshing, enjoyable.

not a bad beer, very watery looking and rather thin tasting, but has a good flavor of raspberries. Refreshing but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Pours light brown with a purple tint. Great aroma of rasberries. You can really taste the Abita Spring water in this beer. Very easy to drink. Although not my favorite beer, it is definitely good if you aren’t looking for something overly intense.

Pours a cloudy peach color with a white head. Has a mild hop aroma with a weak fruit presence. Has a light body, weak flavor and a raspberry aftertaste. Not that great.
