Abita Purple Haze

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

Serve in Flute

I liked the concept more than the actual beer. It pours a cloudy golden color similar to other wheat beers, but had a very tart taste. I love sweet fruit beers, but this one was not as enjoyable as I was hoping.

12oz bottle, hazy light gold color, thin head. little aroma, tart raspberry taste at first sip. a little thin on the finish

Hazy amber/orange color; Light to medium body; Aroma of wheat, raspberries, & apricot; Flavor of slight sweet malt, wheat, raspberries, and citrus; Finish is slightly sour; Overall, not bad.

This was alright. Really was looking for a lighter beer and it filled that. But the aroma was of fake raspberry and honey. The taste was about the same, medium sweetness not a lot of hops. Hazy yellow color. Just alright.

Hazy gold, thin white head, medium body, high carbonation.

Aroma: grainy with a bit of musty barnyard funkiness.

Taste: very grainy and thin malt profile. Raspberry is very faint. Wheat is clean and tart.

On tap at the Office (formerly the Jolley Trolley), Westfield, NJ. Clean lines. Beer pours an opaque beige with a slight purple haze, as expected. Head was thin. The attack is a slightly sour wheat beer, to me it needed to either be more wheaty or more sour. Simple palate with little body, could use more sweetness to balance the sour finish.

Pours hazy/cloudy blond with a fairly large off-white head. Aroma is of fruity sweetness and just a little bit of wheat. Flavor is not as sweet as the aroma and tastes mostly like any other wheat beer. Kind of plain, light bodied and dry/sour finish.

Cloudy wheat brew. Head disapears quickly. Color is hazy, peachy, and musty. Taste is sweet, but not overbearing, raspberry. Goes down easy and smooth, very nice. It is a very crisp and upfront brew. Not to much going on, but thats they way it should be. A classi fruit brew that could be drank all day.
