It is a great joy to see so many chef’s getting more and more enthusiastic about beer/food pairings. In the Netherlands we enjoyed inspiring beer dinings at ‘Dertien’, a superb restaurant in Rotterdam. That’s why we immidiatly said ‘yes!’ when chef Pepijn proposed a special brew to enforce this trend. We brew a hazy purple weizen - ish with elderberries. The pairings to go with this beer are much awaited! It’s name is a tribute to the legendary Jimmy Hendriks and Prince. Purple Haze & Purple Rain

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is malt, dark forest fruits, tons of elderberries, with a touch of yeast and caramel. Flavour is above moderate sweet with a little tartness, lightly sourish. Body is medium. Nice potent dark fruits, lacks depth, the caramel malt backbone caught me by surprise.

Tap at Salon piva. Very intense dark berry fruit character. Slightly basementy and sourish but that only adds to the complexity. Thin body, med carbonation. Very good.
