Abita Purple Haze

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

Serve in Flute

Draft. A hazy amber ber with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) A raspberry-wheat beer from Louisiana! Oh yes, it had to come. Has the typical wheaty haze with some sediment. Orangey with a slight reddish tint and a good head. Quite dry and only a hint of sweetness from the fruit. Actualy quite refreshing.

From tap at Yard House in San Diego. Pours hazy deep orange with a small white head. Aroma is crisp orange and tangerine fruity. Mild citric base flavour, rather dry yet refreshing with a bitterness making the finish even more dry and crisp.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, average head. Tart raspberry aroma. Dryish, light and clean. Though simple it’s drinkable and refreshing. No bitterness. A well made beer in a pointless style.

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.

Draught at Flying Saucer, Addison TX
Muddy orange color. Simple Ale with a light raspberry added flavor.

Light amber; refreshing, but artificial raspberry character. Standard stuff.
