Abita Purple Haze

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

12oz draft from the harp... It tastes like that blueberry wheat stuff from seadog that everyone loves. It appears that american wheat beers are now being fruited up - in an attempt to capture some of the malternatives market. Even people who stick to harpoon, snpa, and long trail know that this beer is crap like #9 and blueberry wheats.

Great for the summer....light, easy drinking with a subtle raspberry finish. Not a top choice, but not bad for a fruit beer.

Flowery aroma. Apricot color with light head retention. Sweet, honey-like flavor with some subtle raspberry tartness. Light and crisp mouthfeel. Not bad especially on a hot day.

First thing that hits you is a strong rasberry aroma. The taste is almost overwelming. The rasberry tast is so abundant that its almost like drinking a b*tch beer.

12 oz- Pours a cloudy reddish yellow with a small white bubbly head. Scents of raspberries but hard to detect in flavor. Disappointing

Got this to finish out a "pick your own 6-pack", but its not even worth that. The only way I can describe it is salty carbonated water mixed with a hefeweizen. I think theres a slight fruit flavor of some sort but its so hidden I can’t really make it out. I suppose if I liked wheat beers I might rate it slightly higher, bit I don’t so I won’t.

Let’s just say this isn’t my favorite beer in any sense of the word, and we can move on.

Murky reddish yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma was slight with wheat and fruit. Tasted very mild with small hints of rasberry and grass.
