Abita Purple Haze if you want a straightforward, sessionable fruit beer with real grain backbone,
Lindemans Framboise if you want something funky, tart, and historically rooted.
Purple Haze is a modern fruit beer—juicy, approachable, built for drinking. Framboise is a lambic, which means wild yeast, funky complexity, and a completely different philosophy. They're both fruit-forward, but one feels like summer, the other feels like Belgium.

Tasting notes
Abita Purple Haze
Purple Haze hits you with raspberry right away—candied, bright, almost like a fruit punch version of beer. There's a soft wheat base underneath that keeps it from feeling thin or artificial. The bitterness is basically a whisper at 10 IBU, so this drinks dangerously easy. I keep reaching for it because it tastes like someone made a legitimately good fruit beer, not a gimmick.
Lindemans Framboise
Framboise is tart in a way that makes your mouth pucker slightly—not sour-bomb aggressive, but definitely alive. You get raspberry, yeah, but also this musty, funky undertone from the wild yeast that most people either love immediately or find weird. It's drier, less sweet, with a spritzy carbonation that feels more like sparkling wine than beer. Low ABV means it disappears fast.
