Purple Haze

The beer is an American style wheat ale with a touch of raspberry syrup. It is reminiscent of the Brussels way of serving white ales using fruit. I thought the beer was rather smooth and the raspberry was a good addition. Foremost, the flavor was a true fruit flavor without the bitter aftertastes when preservatives, or artificial flavors are used. This beer is not really my cup of tea as I prefer real flavor involving just the simple ingredients that make up beer. For me, fruit is not needed. In this case however, fruit adds a nice flavor that gives a sweet goodness to the beverage. The name of the brewer is Abita from Abita Springs, Louisiana. www.abita.com
