Abita Purple Haze

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

A nice smell, especially if you spend a bunch of the time in kitchen with some odd ingredients. A great colour which shows its differences compared to normal beers. The aroma of some Lavender flowers or even Violet emerges, even though the label only mentions an infusion of Raspberry flavours. Not a bad beer!

Good balanced brew. The rasberry is faint which allows the wheat taste to shine.

Color is cloudy pale yellow, white fizzy head faded fast leaving a skim of whisper light white haze on top that stuck around the whole glass and had some very small spotty lace. Smell is mostly wheat, pretty sharp with a very slight note of raspberry. Taste completely mirrors the smell with lots of malted wheat, a tad breadish with a ever so slight presense of raspberry. Has a zesty sweet sharpness thats dulled a bit at the start and then airs out with a mellow smoothness. Feel is light to medium bodied, a bit zesty and grainy. not bad, drinkable, ya sure, but where's the raspberry?

Pours a two-fingered white head leaving little lace, reddish/amber color. Medium carbonation, light bodied. Slight raspberry nose. Starts with raspberry overtones with the wheat right behind it, very easy to drink. $1.49 for a 12 oz bottle from Liquor Barn, London, KY.

On Tap: I don’t know about this beer. It poured a creamy peach color with no head. It tastes like fruit and wheat....just like its supposed to . It left me with no noticable aftertaste and left me not wanting another one.

really smooth beer with a litle taste of raspberry but very subtle not one of my favorite fruit one it miss a liltle something in it not enough punch!

12oz screw-top bottle from The Liquor Shop in Tyngsboro, Mass. Pours a hazy amber yellow with a quickly dissipating thin off-white head. Smells grainy with touches of caramel and biscuit, with a fair bit of raspberry. Grainy and sweet, with a touch of citrus, obviously a strong undertone of sweet-tart raspberry. Light in body with moderate carbonation, and fairly quaffable. American wheat and fruit beer are not my favorite styles for sure, but this is a reasonably solid example of both. Worth a try.

Pours a nice hazy medium/dark yellow color. The very last bit outta the bottle had a distinct purple haze to it. Big white foamy head piles up and then slowly settles a bit. Lots of wispy sticky lace if left behind on the walls of the glass. Big raspberry aroma. Nice and fruity with a good yeasty note at the end and a nice wheat malt sweetness mingled in. Very pleasant. Not artificial in aroma like some can be. Nice smooth wheat malt up front. Very nice sweetness comes in next and a great raspberry flavor comes across in the aftertaste. Delicious.
