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

Draft at de Molen. Purple pour. Aroma of cassis, mild tart, wheat and grainy malt. Taste has cassis berries, soft wheat, yeast, sweet fruit and a malty finish. More like a mildly tart weizen than a berliner, bit it’s nice.

Bottle, bottled 10.04.17 (from speciaalbierpakket.nl). Looks like smoothie: dark purple with light purple head. Smells also like smoothie: fruity, berries, sourness. Flavor is sweet, sour, wheat, fruits, berries. Finish is wheaty-floury with a bit of alcohol tingle. Overall: good in a hedonistic scale, although it really doesn’t look, smell or taste like a proper beery beer.
