Purple Haze® is a lager brewed with real raspberries added after filtration. It is brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and Vanguard hops. The berries add a fruity aroma, tartly sweet taste and a subtle purple color and haze...you may see fruit pulp in the beer. This beer is best served with salads or light fruit desserts, such as soufflés or chiffon cakes. Many people enjoy it with chocolate desserts. Purple Haze® pairs well with certain cheeses, such as ripened Brie or any dessert made with mascarpone. It’s also great paired with entrees prepared with fruit, especially citrus. Consider enjoying Purple Haze® alone at the end of your meal as dessert.

$2.75 at main street bar and grill in aliquippa. Never thought I try this but, I asked for something different and she served this up. I was expecting a sweet beer, wheat and raspberry and all. Was a little disappointed in the flavor. Just your typical american beer with a little non sweetened raspberry flavor added. Not impressed. Not my cup of tea.

Nose of tart malt with some raspberry esters; Hazy pink tinged amber with a small white head; flavor was tart raspberry with some wheatiness. Kind of watery body, Not great but it is my first beer from Louisiana!

On tap @ Mellow Mushroom. Kind of pink in color with small white head. Aroma seems like bitter grapefruit and some sweet citrus. Flavor is a little like candy. I taste sweet berry flavor followed by some dryer malts and some tartness around my tongue. Good light weight summer day brew.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a small white head. The aroma is sour, tangy and sugary and is not at all good. The flavor is sugar and an almost grape like tangy finish. Not good.

bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a hint of pink. Thin head. Smells lightly of raspberries. The taste is like a bad pale lager with some raspberry flavor. It’s also way too thin. The finish is light and uninteresting, much like the rest of the beer.

Bottle. Sweet raspberry malt aroma - a bit like the sweeter lambic framboise beers. Moderately cloudy - pinkish amber color with small head. Slightly sour, light raspberry malt flavor - really expected it to be sweeter from the aroma. Very little body. Pretty weak and bland.

Sampler from bottle at Binny’s, Orland Park. Well, it pours that kind of champale color that’s usually a warning to me when I try a fruit beer. And yet I keep trying ’em. I will it’s a bit tangy with raspberry flavor, and finished kind of dry. Okay, but lacks much oomph.
