Abita Purple Haze

Hazy cherry color with a very creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Light bitterness with notes of molassas.

Pours a hazy golden raspberry color, nice head. Not too much going on here, thin crap beer mized with a watery raspberry flavor, pretty standard and nothing complex.

From Bottle

Poured hazy golden color, with a big white head. Aroma fruity. Flavor subdued raspberries, with a wheat backbone. Light mouthfeel, very carbonated.

No redeeming qualities, unless you long to get drunk off Fruity Pebbles. Maybe we get Abita beer fresher in Mississippi than in other areas, but this "hint of raspberry" crap that I see every where is more than a bit of an understatement.

I had this on tap for the first time, and it’s much better this way. The raspberry is much more pronounced, and it is just an overall better brew. Though I’m sure it was much fresher than the bottles I have bought in the past. I was pleased with it.

Light tasting with a hint of rasberry, light in body. ok beer but not one of my favorites. A refreshing hot summer day beer.

This raspberry flavor is pretty deep but everything else seems missing. Its kind of like Kool Aid with alcohol in a beer that seems designed for the wine cooler crowd.

Bottle poured a hazyrose with a large, creamy, long lasting head. Aromas of raspberry, wheat and a bit of yeast. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of raspberries and wheat with a clean, sweet finish.
