Purple Haze
Part of a make-my-own Abita brewing six pack from Cuban Liquors in Shreveport, LA. This is my second of 5 different beers to try. Pours an interesting hazy apricot-orange color with tinges of pink-purple in the liquid as it's moving from bottle to glass, and slight colored highlights in the white head. Aroma is a new experience for me. There was none. I am not kidding. I couldn't smell anything. No malt, no wheat, no hops, no fruit, no nothing. How is this possible? Flavor is the expected berry fruit profile, sitting on wheaty grains. No surprises there. Pretty simple, basic, it's fine and is what it is, not great, not terrible. Pretty drinkable on a hot day, though, which is pretty common where this place comes from. Glad I tried it, now all I can do is hope that the other Abita beers are more interesting.
