Abita Purple Haze


















































Abita Brewing Company
Abita Purple Haze
Abita Springs, LA
7/26/2009, bottle, 4.2 abv

Smell

The smell was a combination of beer and fake raspberries, like Children's Dimetapp cold medicine.

Appearance

Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a nice 1" head. Lots of carbonation.

Taste

The taste was obviously dominated by raspberry, but there was no wheat beer goodness. The raspberry taste was somewhat industrial. Tasted like a purple popsicle dropped in a mediocre lager. I could not finish it.

Comments

OK, it's official. I do not like raspberry beers. I like raspberries and I like beer, but not together. Brewers frequently include a raspberry beer in their variety packs, probably so they can get rid of them.
