Anyway, on that note summery fruity beer. I'm not a big fan of "fruity" beers. I've had a few strawberry wheat beers that I like; along with a few honey/orange wheat beers. But in general, fruity beers are a bit to bitter for me. Abita Brewing produces a fairly nice (yet fruity) Purple Haze that has the kick of raspberry. It is tart yet it is a fruit that I don't eat a lot and therefor I'm OK with it being that way in this beer. The great thing about this beer as I poured it into my glass I almost said I saw a purple hint to the pour. I don't know if it is the lighting now or not but I don't notice it in the glass as much as I did while pouring. It has a some what "unfiltered" haze to it. No doubt this comes from the fruit tannins that can cause some filtered haze in beers. One reason why brewing fruity home brews can be a little tricky in my experience. Reading the bottle it has some pilsner and wheat malts used in the brewing. It also stated that the raspberry puree is added after filtration so that could add some pulp to the drink. I don't mind this beer. I couldn't drink many of them maybe 2 but the one is nice by itself. You can definitely get a huge raspberry fruity smell from the glass.
Cheers to Abita for a great name for a solid "fruity" beer. Have a great night.
