Abita Purple Haze

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

Tastes a little sour for a wheat. Nice nose to it though. Carbonation bites the tongue.

Draft at brewery. I’m drinking raspberry punch. I don’t like beer that is this sweet.

Poured from a bottle. Nice initial head...Has nice carbonation and I like the haze in the glowing brew. Did not smell as sweet as I first thought. This has a real nice aroma, slight raspberry and spice...in the back round I a catching a little tobacco...Nice flavor...again not too sweet, with a nice Rasp. twinge in the end. I have not had many fruit beers...but this is the best I have had thus far.

Wheat pour with some head and lacing. Nice spice aroma with no hint of fruit in the nose. Flavor was that of a wheat with just a touch of raspberry subtly layered in the background.

xxx fruit beers never my favorite, and this ones no different. Cool name, cool bottle, but that doesnt make a beer good.

Pours a slightly pinkish tinge on your standard wheat beer. Nose is strongly raspberry, without much else. Taste is a better mix of raspberry and wheat. Feel is a little thin, but alright. I guess I give it a slight edge because it is uncommon in terms of its raspberry flavor. However, it doesn’t really do anything interesting or special with its flavor, so in my mind, it’s just average. I guess check out Pynk by Yards, if you want an interesting take on the raspberry flavor. Two sheets of acid and six beers later, I took off my pants and lit my draperies on fire.

Not too fond of this fruit beer. I was having a sample get together with my friend and his uncle and we used it to get the taste of the other beers out of our mouth it had that much flavor. AKA no flavor at all. Can’t really get any fruit flavors at all, nothing special you’re not missing anything.

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