Abita Purple Haze

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

Bottle 12 I’d as I sit in New Orleans not horeable but not outstanding either. The raspberrys are pronouned and actually are not bad but the main body of beer is a let down

Wow yuck. I just tasted a different rasperry beer and it was bad, but this...this is not beer, it’s artificially flavored water. It smells like a lager with a small hint of fruit, very weird smell. Tastes like bad water with something sort of fruity in it. It’s really bad, I can’t really explain it I just can’t drink anymore.

poured a hazy pale yellow with big head aromas of raspberries and wheat flavor of the same and very mild

Bottle... Poured a foggy, pastel orange with a thick, frothy, white head. Aroma of coriander, orange peel and yeast. I didn’t really detect much of the raspberries in the brew, but it was a pretty standard American style wheat. Tart yeast and fruit notes which had lend to a highly drinkable and sessionable, refreshing beer. Not the worst that I’ve had for a fruit/wheat 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.

pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma of raspberry, and a lot more present than in the tap version. Taste, thick mouthfeel, raspberry feels more like a juice than a good purée. Light tartness, some floating yeast. Overall sweet and very one dimensional. Really not the fruit beer that will leave a mark, feels too fake / extract.

Bottle. Call me what you want but sometimes I like a fruit beer. Had a dark red color. Small head. Aroma of raspberries. Has a sweet taste. Not too bad..

Raspberry taste was very prominent in my beer. Not too sure why this is their best selling beer. Turbodog is head and shoulders above this beer.
