Abita Purple Haze

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

GBof A PA-on tap-pours an off white/purple tint head and hazy gold color. Aroma is fruity, grassy. Taste is raspberry, grassy, wheat. OK carbonation.

Basic, nothing bad, but was hoping for more. Pass it up, and get the Lindeman’s Framboise. Taste is basically lager, with a hint of raspberry... aroma is lager, appearance and palate are all lager.

orange gold coloured, nice aroma of rasberries, not much head. sweet rasberry head but not too sweet, slight rasberry tartness. good beer

A slightly hazed orange pour with a sticky lacing. An aroma of raspberries and wheat. A nice raspberry taste nabs you at first taste and lingers some to join the wheat and bitter after taste. I’m sure I appreciate this beer a little more than I would have a year ago. It isn’t a great beer but it is a good beer. Would I drink a sixer yep. Would I buy a sixer nope.

Bottle. This is a dark gold-colored beer. Smell of raspberries is apparent but, not overwhelming. You can taste the fruit but again, it isn’t overwhelming. Very tasty wheat beer.

Got a bottle at a cajun restaraunt in Bethesda, MD. Pours tan with a hint of purple/red. Thin head, smells of raspberries. Taste is crisp, with a raspberry flavor that seams a bit sour to me. Not quite as sweet as I would have hoped. An ok beer.

"fresh from the tap...smells like fresh crushed raspberies peach colored mingled with apricot and ruby red tendencies...the raspberries then engulf themselves in a blanket of subtle cream"-Funknmilla..."assocation with life savors rasp. & creme candy"...as thought by M.V.

I don’t like fruit beer. I don’t like fruit beer. Hey, did I mentioned that I don’t like fruit beer? Why? Because if I want something fruity, I’ll drink wine or a wine cooler. I don’t require fruit in my beer. With that being said, I am open minded and am willing to try pretty much anything as it relates to beer. Sample this from a bottle. Nice big white fizzy head topped a murky golden fizzy brew. I expected a big whiff of ultra sweet rasberry flavoring. Not so. Instead I smelled primarliy wheat and malt. Mouthfeel was medium bodied and watery. Flavor was watery wheat beer with a tart twang almost like a no suger added sweet tart candy. The aftertaste was pure bitter rasberry that was acceptable. For what it’s worth in the big scheme of things, this is the best fruit beer that I’ve tasted to date.
