2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pink grapefruit colored pour with a small white head. Aroma holds mostly wheat, vinegar, and tart raspberry. with additional touches of yeast as well. Flavor is most wheat, lemongrass, and light raspberry that builds as the flavor progresses. Palate is light and drinkable. Sessionable and OK for summer, but really just reminds me of Magic Hat #9 with more wheat and raspberry instead of apricot. Passable-- nothing more.

the only thing I can say about this beer is that it taste too soapy in taste to enjoy it at all. there is some raspberry flavor and a touch of wheat over tones but it is over shadowed by the funkiness.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2010 Had this at IO West in hollywood, bottled. mainly got it due to the name, but also because we had just been to Hollywood Hookah (hookah, not hooker!) so after smoking the fruity tobacco, needed something in the same vein in a beer. flavoured quite heavily with the rasberries, not normally my sort of beer was was appropriate at the time

World Cup Beer tasting at Lazy Boy Saloon Beer #6. I see this beer on tap everywhere that I go so figured this tasting is a good time to try. Pour looks like the color of the inside of a very dry plum. Smell is of fruits. taste isn’t very good and isn’t all that fruity or like beer. well i’ve got a Louissiana rate now
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Had this on tap at 5 boroughs. pours a golden yellow with a light white head. A faint fruity aroma with raspberries being the primary fruit. taste is bland, fruit, raspberries. taste more like a smirnoff drink than a beer. Are you kidding me? what palate? This beer blows.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
(12oz bottle shared by the surfer dude Abita Texas rep, thanks bro-ski!) pours a cloudy purple-orange with very little bubbles. Nose and taste were pretty identical, wheat, old grain, and semi real/semi artificial raspberries. The taste also had an interesting component, it tasted like lactic acid and vomit. Pretty downright nasty stuff here.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
No head or lace, cloudy medium-orange pour, mild flavor, thin watery palate, but very refreshing fruit finish (almost like it wasn’t a beer, actually).
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I wanted to try this out of curiosity, even though I remember the beer not being rated very well. Well...the relatively low score does not lie. Purple Haze has almost no detectable aroma. The taste does not get much better, but the raspberries are detectable and no necessarily offensive--sort of pleasant. Light body and palate. It is not terrible. This could be easily acceptable during the hot days of summer.
