Abita Purple Haze

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

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is raspberry and mild notes of paper. Flavour is berries, fruits and some wheat. Not very exciting.

pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma of raspberry, and a lot more present than in the tap version. Taste, thick mouthfeel, raspberry feels more like a juice than a good purée. Light tartness, some floating yeast. Overall sweet and very one dimensional. Really not the fruit beer that will leave a mark, feels too fake / extract.

Bottle. Call me what you want but sometimes I like a fruit beer. Had a dark red color. Small head. Aroma of raspberries. Has a sweet taste. Not too bad..

Raspberry taste was very prominent in my beer. Not too sure why this is their best selling beer. Turbodog is head and shoulders above this beer.

Location: You can find this one anywhere, last one I had was a 12 oz bottle at Louisiana Kitchen in Bethesda, MD.

Aroma: Fruity and sweet
Appearance: Hazy orange color, foamy white head.
Flavor: Light, wheat, fruity and smooth
Palate: Light body
Overall Impression: Not so much a good beer, as a good fruit beer. I mean I don’t love the style, but this one is pretty tasty, super drinkable, and perfect for people who don’t really like strong beers, as it not strong at all, but still has some taste to it. I always suggest this one for non-beer people looking for something slightly (and I do mean slightly) Micro. What can I say? I rated it higher then it deserves, but I like this one, especially on a warm summer day outside, when only a light wheat beer will do.

Bottle. Poured hazy orange-amber. Head was foamy and short lived. Smells of wheat and berries. Taste was of sour fruit. Nothing distinquishible from other berries. Nice wheat bread crust flavor. Not bad.

Hazy orange red pour with a white wispy head. Sweet tart aroma. Light fruity taste but sweetness lingers on palate.

Pours hazy gold into a tumbler. Bright white head recedes to hug rim. Stale raspberry aromas. Crisp and raspberry upfront turning to a nasty, stale raspberry bubblegum.
