Pros: good taste for anyone
Cons: non
I am not what you call an avid beer drinker. I may have one every once in awhile but for the most part i just stick to mixed drinks when i go out. So I went out one night and it was so loud when I ordered a Jack and Coke the bartender some how thought...

Pros: Fruity
Cons: Hard to find outside of Louisiana
I do not like beer. It is that easy. I do not know what made me try Abita Purple Haze: maybe it was because I was thirsty and there was nothing else to drink, maybe I was bored, maybe because I liked the Hendrix reference, maybe because I liked the...

Pros: Light, complex flavor
Cons: Not so great in bottled form
This is one good beer. It's the first beer I truly loved. It has a nice, light but complex flavor. There's a hint on raspberry in the beer (hence the name Purple Haze).
Unfortunately, this beer suffers greatly in bottled form. From what I...

Pros: Fruity and tart
Cons: None
I do like wheat beers and this one has a twist. It's fruity taste is subtle and a little tart. I tried this beer on a whim at a place in Atlanta that serves many different kinds of beer. I was blown away that this one was different than all the...

Pros: Refreshing, sweet, light, and enjoyable
Cons: Sweet, a bit expensive depending on location
Abita Purple Haze is one of those brews you don't see everyday. But that's what makes these finds such a treat. I went in to the local Mellow Mushroom because I was told that they had a fine selection of beers on tap. Sure enough, there were about 12 ...

Pros: clever name, crisp bouquet, mild but complex flavor
Cons: low alcohol content
Beer is not my favorite beverage. Likewise, raspberries are not my favorite fruit. Despite these facts, or perhaps because of them, Purple Haze is a beer that I unequivocally enjoy. I wouldn't have ever tried it but for a beer aficionado I knew that ...

Pros: a crisp taste; light beer with a strong raspberry taste
Cons: Available only at select restaurants and clubs locally.
I have read a couple of the other reviews on this product and we have some very different views on this particular beer especially regarding the presence of raspberries and the taste.
While having lunch today at The Jazz, a Louisiana kitchen...

Pros: Original taste
Cons: Challenging to one's manhood
I should write this epinion incognito because this is not necessarily what I'd call a "manly" beer but I still like it a lot. Abita Purple Haze is one of a few beers out there that I know of that is fermented with raspberries to give it a...

Pros: Tastes great
Cons: Kind of sweet
Well as a former bartender I know how difficult it is to convince the hard-core beer drinker to try a flavored beer but most of the people I got to try this one liked it. I won't lie not every hard core drinker liked it and some just plain refused...

Pros: very unique and pleasurable taste once you get use to it.
Cons: takes some getting use to
Purple Haze is a very unique beer. The first time I tried I did not really like it that much, I did not dislike either though. It took a while to get use to but the Raspberry taste. It does not overpower the beer, but it is a very unique taste.

Pros: Light, inoffensive taste
Cons: No real strong flavor
This beer is not my favorite by Abita (I prefer Turbo Dog), though it is definitely in my top 15 beers. It's very light and inoffensive. I'm not a huge beer drinker, so one of my top criteria in a beer is one that won't antagonize the tastebuds with...

Pros: Just enough rasberry
Cons: Can be fruity for the not-so fruity type
The first time I tried this beer it was at a specialty restaurant and since then I order it every time I can. I am a light and flavored beer drinker at heart, so if you find yourself drawn to those types, then Abita Purple Haze is good for you!! Has...

Pros: A crisp beer that pairs well with grilled foods.
Cons: Can be a little pricey.
Abita Purple Haze is a very flavorful, light beer. The top note seems to be one of berries and clear water. I love this beer for its crisp, clean taste. It is a very refreshing beer that is perfect for pairing with anything off the grill. In the...

Pros: Soft, spritzy, refreshing wheat beer
Cons: Elusive raspberry flavors, too light for me
I've been drinking a fair amount of Abita beer over the last month or two. I'm trying to identify a house signature while at the same time becoming familiar with the entire Abita family of beers. It's not that I find Abita particularly fascinating -- I...

Pros: Slightly sweet and tart
Cons: Title is a misnomer, price
After almost 4 years in college, I have acquired quite a taste for the lower priced beers. In effect, I want as much bang as I can get for my buck. So, without a whole lot of money to spend, Natural Light seems to be the most common choice here at...
