Abita Purple Haze

The first time I drank a Purple Haze was at the ACME Oyster House in New Orleans. The problem was that I was so thirsty that I guzzled the beer which was fine since it was served without a glass. So, I didn't get to taste or see the actual product. Fast forward five months to my annual BBQ cookout. I offered a variety of beer which included Purple Haze. Poured a golden amber hue with little head formation. Noses a mild raspberry and wheat bread aroma. Tastes like a first crop raspberry. It's okay for a summer quencher especially at only 4.2%. I could drink two or three while lawn mowing on a hot muggy day.
