Abita Purple Haze if you want a sessionable fruit beer with wheat's softness,
Lindemans Framboise if you want tart funk and tradition.
Purple Haze leans approachable—it's what American brewers think fruit beer should be. Framboise is the real deal: a 300-year-old Belgian lambic that tastes like it was aged in barrels with actual raspberries, because it was. Pick based on your mood, not your beer category.

Tasting notes
Abita Purple Haze
Purple Haze hits the glass smelling like actual blueberries—clean, almost artificial in its brightness. The body's light and wheaty, with that haze texture that catches on your tongue. Blueberry flavor is upfront and easy, no funk, no surprises. At 4.2%, you could drink three of these and still think clearly.
Lindemans Framboise
This pours cloudy pink and smells like a Belgian farmhouse after someone dropped a flat of raspberries on the floor—wild yeast, fruit, a little vinegar edge. The first sip is a shock: tart hits first, then comes this subtle woodiness and a dryness that makes your mouth pucker. At 2.5%, it's deceptively light, but every sip tastes like it took decades to make.
