Abita Purple Haze

(draft) A cloudy beer with a slightly pinkish tint. If it had any actual flavor I’d decribe it here, but alas, there was none. A waste of time.

Pours a cloudy peach color with a small lacy head. Aroma of raspberry and some wheat. Flavor or slight raspberry and wheat with some malts at the end. This was alright, I’ve had much better raspberry fruit beers though.

from biglove from the other site. poured true to its name a hazy light purple with a small withe head. aroma sour fruits witha touch of sugar added, raspberries, sligt hints of malt, flavor sour raspberries and other sour fruits, dry. this is another one of their beers that would be good on a hot summer day and you want to throw down a few.

Sampler from bottle at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/orland-park/binny%E2%80%99s-beverage-depot-(orland-park)/3776.htm>Binny’s, Orland Park. Well, it pours that kind of champale color that’s usually a warning to me when I try a fruit beer. And yet I keep trying ’em. I will it’s a bit tangy with raspberry flavor, and finished kind of dry. Okay, but lacks much oomph.

The beer pours a light faded purple and has fizzy light violet head. There is the slight aroma of raspberry and a malty background. The raspberry flavor is slightly detectable but almost overpowered by the beer’s carbonation.

There was a slight haze to a melon-colored body and an orchid tint to an otherwise white head. Aromas were strong on raspberry (syrup) with honeydew, tea and mown grass. Flavor held some wheat characteristics, but was overall really weak. Berries came through at the end in a brief sourness. Similar to your standard brewpub fruit beer: attractive packaging without payoff.

this is a very enjoyable beer. I like its color and its taste. i drink this all the time, and i have even bought it as singles in PA.

12 oz bottle from sampler pack. Not too good. Smelled like it was going to be a good one - nice raspberry smell. Vitually no raspberry flavor. In fact, very little flavor period.
