Purple Haze® is a lager brewed with real raspberries added after filtration. It is brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and Vanguard hops. The berries add a fruity aroma, tartly sweet taste and a subtle purple color and haze...you may see fruit pulp in the beer. This beer is best served with salads or light fruit desserts, such as soufflés or chiffon cakes. Many people enjoy it with chocolate desserts. Purple Haze® pairs well with certain cheeses, such as ripened Brie or any dessert made with mascarpone. It’s also great paired with entrees prepared with fruit, especially citrus. Consider enjoying Purple Haze® alone at the end of your meal as dessert.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, average head. Tart raspberry aroma. Dryish, light and clean. Though simple it’s drinkable and refreshing. No bitterness. A well made beer in a pointless style.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy rosey color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes very quickly. Barely got anything on the nose but a faint rasberry. The taste is a weak rasberry with a sweet finish, very watery. This was a weak fruit beer from Abita.

Bottle: Massive white head atop of one of the worst colored ales I’ve ever seen. Looked like fruit juice, maybe peach? Nose is malty and soapy, hints of fruit. Bubbly on the tongue with wheat, malt, sours, and the subtle fruit flavor of a watery wine cooler. Couldn’t stand to finish this one.

Medium raspberry aroma. Hazy orange gold color with no real head. Starts with weak raspberry. Weak body, pumped up a bit as the fizziness fizzes. Weakly sweet. Finish is rather weak raspberry seed. Overall it’s fairly refreshing. Likely to be good around the pool.

Bottle Pours a hazy slight pinkish witha quick off white head. No real lacing. Slight aroma of raspberries, I suppose, and they are inthe flavor as well. A bit soapy, and extract-ish. Just tastes cheap. Clean quick fairly dry finish, quaffable but move on to some thing better in the style.

"fresh from the tap...smells like fresh crushed raspberies peach colored mingled with apricot and ruby red tendencies...the raspberries then engulf themselves in a blanket of subtle cream"-Funknmilla..."assocation with life savors rasp. & creme candy"...as thought by M.V.
