Abita Purple Haze

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

Bottle, wheat taste, a touch of tartness. Nothing very special at all, like I said only a bit of tartness.

Had this while walking down bourbon st. Which I’d say had to add to the experiance. It’s wheaty, it’s raspberry flavored, and it’s pretty light and drinkable. I’d say it’s not overly fruity so that’s a positive. Plus the cool name and bottle got my attention.

I had this one on tap at the Mellow Mushroom. First of all, it did have a lovely slight pink hue to the otherwise golden body. Slight head, moderate carbonation, and a smell like roses (really). The taste was wheaty (obviously) with just a hint of berry coming through, making it a refreshing brew, but not overtly complex

I strained to see the pink that some others have mentioned but will leave it that this poured a fairly golden colour with some mild haze. Aroma-wise, I was a bit put off with the raspberry odour coming from the glass; it smelled too much like berry to me and I question the fresh raspberry approach mentioned in the commercial description. Flavour was underwhelming for a wheat beer.

Pours a hazy (no pun intended) orange color with white head and has a wheat/fruity aroma. The taste light-medium body with of sweet rasberry and wheat, which doesn’t sit long or have any aftertaste. I really enjoyed this beer and could drink this all summer long.

Draft. Pours a very interesting color, a creamy pink. Smells carbonated, fruity, and definite raspberry. Taste is crisp with raspberries and carbonation. Interesting and for a fruity beer really not that bad but I can’t imagine I’d want to drink this very often.

Bottle. Beer pours a a light amber with a distinguished pinkish hue to it. Has a very light white head to it. Taste is slightly tart with a definite raspberry taste and scent. A nice beer.

This is an o.k. brew. Nice color to the beer, a little pinkish-purple tint. Nice aroma but not much of a head. Pretty drinkable though.
