Abita Purple Haze

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

[Bottle - Johns Market Portland Oregon] Wow rusty around the rim of the bottle after taking off he cap. Strike one. Next the flavor was like a old shoe and a very off smell from the very first. Strike two. Next the flavor was a weak version of a wheat beer an very little to the raspberry. Not a good beer Stike three. This was a terrible brew. I hope it was just old and not the actual beer. :(

$2.75 at main street bar and grill in aliquippa. Never thought I try this but, I asked for something different and she served this up. I was expecting a sweet beer, wheat and raspberry and all. Was a little disappointed in the flavor. Just your typical american beer with a little non sweetened raspberry flavor added. Not impressed. Not my cup of tea.

(Bottle) Pours hazy with a decent head. Fruity aroma. Taste was a little more bland. A decent beer, but not too exciting.

Halfway decent wheat brew with a little bit of raspberries added which impart a little sourness to the beer. They couldnt use much, as there is little evidence of color from the berries. (i’ve brewed raspberry wheat beers, and it dosent take much to give a red tinge to the beer, and a purple tinge to the head.) They should use more to back up the name.

12oz bottle Pours out a hazy amber with very little head. Alot of carbonization almost like a soda. Not that very much ras in this berry beer.

On the whole really impressive. I have had more problems with spoiled in the bottle with this beer than any other. Pours fizzy, no real head, but a lovely pink/gold color. When it’s good it’s great.

This is probably the most disappointing micro I have ever had. Way too much artificial fruit on the nose. No head to speak of. Poor malts, no hops, too much carbonization, tart aftertaste.

Taste was of watery raspberry, not over the top, but not to strong either. The bottle I had just tasted watery all together.
