Abita Purple Haze

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

Serve in Flute

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass The color is a hazy orange with two fingers of foamy white head and some slight lacing left on the glass. The smell is of oranges and a little lemon aroma mixed in. The nose is mostly sweet but there is a weird off aroma as well. The taste is a candy like flavor with some sweet sugary flavor mixed with a fruity flavor that seems a little muted. There is a light wheat flavor and slight bitter hop flavor that rounds this beer out. The feel of this beer is light but smooth and goes down with a nice easy drinkable feel.

Poured a lovely purplish red color with a good amount of head. Breath in the deep aroma of raspberry’s, I hope you like that because you won’t smell much else. Taste’s much as you would expect and is as if you poured raspberry juice into a light beer.

Bottled sample. Pinkish gold in colour with strong carbonation. Smells of tart "blue raspberry" candy, and a bit of dry pale malt. Tastes kinka like a sweetish raspberry cooler drink with a bit of beer mixed in. Very light bodied. Didn’t smell all that bad, but the flavour was pretty poor.

Has a wheat and light raspberry taste, with a mildly bitter finish, but was disappointed overall. It’s a decent fruit beer that is drinkable and light.

A real raspberry from Abita, pungent aroma, a short burst of raspberry at the finish, not worth the calories or the price, stay away, was expecting much more from this brewery.

Bottle from sample pack. Awful. Smells sweet, tastes like selzer water with a twist of sugar free candy. Terrible. I would absolutely never drink this again. If anyone is in the area and wants the other 3, they’re yours.

Draft at fallfest. Pours a hazy brown with lots of head. Aroma is slightly fruity, notes of tartness. Flavor is very disappointing. Almost tastes like a fruity lager, which doesn’t really jive. Maybe i got a different beer from the stand.

Well its a wheat beer with raspberry flavor. Not much else to say here. No spice to be had. Some tartness from the wheat with a faint trace of earthy wild raspberries. Light and drinkable, but not my thing.
