The popular Purple Haze is a crisp American-style wheat beer with raspberry puree added after filtration, with raspberry pulp often seen in the beer itself. The raspberries provide a subtle purple coloration and haze, a fruity aroma and a tartly sweet taste. This beer is best served with salads or light fruit desserts, such as soufflés or chiffon cakes, and many people enjoy it with chocolate desserts. It also pairs well with cheeses like ripened Brie.
Abita beers include several seasonal brews: Abita Bock, Red Ale, Wheat, Fall Fest and Christmas Ale, as well as harvest beers including Strawberry Harvest, Pecan Harvest and Satsuma Harvest, a Witbier with the addition of the Satsuma orange.
