Abita Purple Haze

Good Lord...what is my cousin thinking. First Bud Ice, now this. Poured a light hazy amberish hue. Some fruitiness in the nose, mostly artifical berry flavor of sorts. Funky watery fruit flavor with some fizz. Other fruits in there besides raspberry but it’s anyones guess as to their identity. Does anyone really want to know? Probably not. Skip this crap too.

not purple, but hazy...aroma of tart berry and wheat....flavor is a let-down, even from the weak aroma....flavor of wheat, dirt, slate, chalk, crayon.....i feel like a 4 year old all over again...now its time for mommy to flog my back so i can spit this shit back up......or just give me some purple haze, just NOT the beer

Wow, this beer has one of the highest standard deviations (StdDev) I’ve seen on this site. Personally I had no idea that it was supposed to be raspberry specifically. On Tap. Pours a cloudy yellow magenta, virtually no head. Aroma was pretty standard for a wheat beer, sweet, wheat, citrus. Flavor definitely strong on the fruit. The natural fruitiness of an American wheat combines with actual fruit makes this one very sweet, berries, lime, pear. Sits around for a while afterward, like juice. Feel is pretty good, active carbonation matches the sweet and whimsical (for lack of a better word) flavor. I can see why many like this, its a real crowd pleaser, not a challenging beverage (not to mention beer) at all. Its like... a great soda. Still, this is a pretty pleasant experience.

Definitely not Purple. The head is thin off white, the body is not as cloudy as I expect a wheat beer to be. The Color is an orange-peach color. Very little aroma. Almost smellls like a budweiser....that is not good. The taste is thin. The nose is weak, the finish is long and sloppy. A slight hint of fruit... Not a very good beer.....especially for the price.

Orangish-pink color, cloudy, not much head. Strong raspberry aroma. Too much carbonation, watery raspberry taste at first, then after that fades the wheat taste comes through in the finish, but it tastes more like stale crackers.

bottle. Pours a heavily cloudy bronze color with a wimpy head. Aroma is non-offensive, some raspberry sweetness and grainy notes. The flavor is more of the same: raspberries, which are thankfully not overdone, and some cereal. Pleasantly tart enough. This is, however, not something I would really like to drink again.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale rust color with white head. The aroma is mostly wheat, but there are some berries in there. The flavor seems to go in stages: semi-sweet malts first, then raspberries (used in moderation, thankfully), then a dry wheat finish. Not bad. The flavors go together much better than I had expected. Not something I would drink regularly, though.

A cloudy brass color with a taste a bit lighter than the body would suggest. A little hoppy with a hint of berry.
