Abita Purple Haze

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

Serve in Flute

Had a very distinct raspberry taste. I’m a big fan of fruit beers, but I just don’t think that raspberry and beer go together well at all, and as such thought this tasted pretty bad.

This is one of the only fruit beers I’ve tasted that actually has a slightly, tart component. Taste is ok, but not great.

Decent fruity aroma betrays the lack of anything else good about this beer. High carbonation churns this unfiltered brew... with a name like "Purple Haze" I expected to see something more striking. Very little flavor of any kind; slight watery fruit flavor with very thin mouthfeel. Quite disappointing. I got this in a holiday pack from my bottle shop and I expect they bundled this in just to get rid of it.

This poured a hazy golden color with a pinkish colored white head. Aroma was mainly artifical grape. Flavor was a bit better, mainly artificial grape flavor but also some wheaty and spice notes as well.

On draft at the brewpub. Wheat and berries are predominant. High carbonation. Different, but really not that good.

This was very light and very just nothing. It didnt have good flavor at all and if youre gonna name a beer purple haze I mean, come on people.

Copying from tasting notes. Bottle. cloudy amber pour with almost no head. Aroma of light hops and some raspberry. Taste is of very very light fruit and some bad hops. Not good.

Bottle. Pours a reddish color. No head at all. Smells of berry, figs, and other fruits. Taste is sweet, but finishes sour or tart. Not a very good beer.
