Abita Purple Haze

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

Bottle Pours a hazy slight pinkish witha quick off white head. No real lacing. Slight aroma of raspberries, I suppose, and they are inthe flavor as well. A bit soapy, and extract-ish. Just tastes cheap. Clean quick fairly dry finish, quaffable but move on to some thing better in the style.

A good raspberry wheat beer... I would only drink one of these however... very fruity with a faded purple color to it. Enjoyable wheat beer

pours a fadded purple and is cloudy orange in the glass. has a lot of head and bubbles almost like a carbonated coke. not really natural tasting. best to drink this one very cold.

Bottled. Pours an unusual shade of light amber. Aroma of grape Popsicles. Light body with medium carbonation. More unnatural fruit in the taste. I gotta take them at their word that fresh raspberries are used, but it just doesn’t taste that way. Clean finish. Not one of my favorites, but my wife thought it was OK.

From a stubby 12 oz. twist off bottle with a notched freshness date on the back label. Poured a faded purple hued golden orange with a foamy, bubbly topped head. Aromas of powdery, dusty, grainy and a light raspberry. Good carbonation and a crisp, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of soft husky grain and light tart raspberry, a mild dry grassy bitterness towards the end and a dry grainy and subtle berry finish. Better than I was expecting, a pretty decent, fresh tasting fruit beer.

Looks cloudy with a sea foam head. Smells unsurprisingly like raspberries. Taste is a watery combination of yeasty bread and seltzer with raspberry syrup. ’Tis a simple beer, but it really ain’t too bad.

The color was a peachy haze (hence the name). The head was thin, white, fizzy, and dissapeared quickly. The aroma was fruity and yeasty. The flavor was not complex, light fruit, and a little sour. The palate was watery and the finish was lacking and was slightly sour.

I love this stuff!! It’s a great tasting beer with a unique and pleasant appearance. It finished with no aftertaste. This is a simple and light beer that’s great when you’re eating bar food or just having a few.
