Sample at OD Brewfest. Okay looking. Sweet raspberry aroma. Syrupy overdone raspberry flavor, barely any wheat flavor, too thin. Not terrible, but nothing great.

I really did like this beer, but not beacause it tasted like beer. It actually tastes like sparkling raspberry water with a hint of beer. I liked it.

Pours amber/read with smallish white head. Nose reminds me of berry Kix. Flavor is the same with a berry flavor mixed with wheat. Rather wan flavor. Not a lot of character.

Bottle, acquired from Hogtown Harry/ Pink grapefruit like orange, small white head, lots of streaming bubbles. Vague berry like aroma, rather muted. Decent raspberry taste, some malt to back it up, although a bit thin. Doesn’t finish well, astringent fruit seed like finish. Thin to medium body. Not a bad summer quencher as far as these things go.

Dark amber reddish color. Not much of a head. Has a smell of berries and malt. Taste of berries and sweet malt with a hint of wheat and grass. Finishes with a bite at the end. I like this beer.

Pours a hazy amber color with pink edges. Light head. Big berry aroma and flavor. Sweet berry flavor. Light to medium body. This beer is just a little too much. The wife sure does like it. Worth a try.

A train laden with stale raspberry juice leaves Enid, Oklahoma traveling 45 miles per hour; another train, this one carrying spent grain husks, leaves Chicago traveling 60 miles per hour. When they meet on the same track in Des Moines, which train wreck of a beer will they produce?

Abita Purple Haze.
