Abita Purple Haze

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

I like this beer, but I love raspberries. Aroma is strongly raspberry, and flavor is neither malty nor hoppy but still beery, and raspberry taste is strong but does not overwhelm the palate.

Draft. Not much aroma. Flavors of yeast and rasberries. A pretty dry beer with no hop or malt presence.

Light Amber Color with White Ring. Sweet Raspberry Notes on the Aroma...Artifical Smelling....Crisp, Clean....Sweet Raspberry...Even Aftertaste... Increasingly Dryer After Drinking For a While.. Overall..Just a Decent Light Fruit Beer.

A pretty decent beer. Pours a nice cloudy amber that is multi-layered at first, then settles to an only slightly cloudy amber. Not a lot of aroma to speak of. Only a hint of raspberry. Nice on the palate, good carbonation. Crisp taste with the raspberry flavor at the end and on the aftertaste.

Bottle, wheat taste, a touch of tartness. Nothing very special at all, like I said only a bit of tartness.

Had this while walking down bourbon st. Which I’d say had to add to the experiance. It’s wheaty, it’s raspberry flavored, and it’s pretty light and drinkable. I’d say it’s not overly fruity so that’s a positive. Plus the cool name and bottle got my attention.

I had this one on tap at the Mellow Mushroom. First of all, it did have a lovely slight pink hue to the otherwise golden body. Slight head, moderate carbonation, and a smell like roses (really). The taste was wheaty (obviously) with just a hint of berry coming through, making it a refreshing brew, but not overtly complex

I strained to see the pink that some others have mentioned but will leave it that this poured a fairly golden colour with some mild haze. Aroma-wise, I was a bit put off with the raspberry odour coming from the glass; it smelled too much like berry to me and I question the fresh raspberry approach mentioned in the commercial description. Flavour was underwhelming for a wheat beer.
