May 3, 2007 The smell was the best part of this beer. A distinct aroma of rasberries. The taste, however, was weak. Simial to a weak soda (a term I hardly ever use.)

Apr 28, 2007 Yes, I’ll add to the heated debate, it has a purple hue. No head and no bubbles. Hard to pick up any aroma - some wheat and tiny hint of rasberry. Light and salty flavor. It lacks two of the three components of beer - malt and hops. The third ingredient, water dominates the flavor, and SOUR at that. Ever swallow water at the beach? Then you know what Purple Haze tastes like. Watery palate. The purple novelty and witty name do not carry this beer very far, leaving a substandard ale.

Apr 21, 2007 Hazy amber body with off-white head. Artificial metallic raspberry flavor. Blah.. glad I didn’t buy a whole 6-pack of this.

Apr 15, 2007 Tried this out only after giving Turbodog a shot first. This one has definitely got a rasberry sheen all over it. Not much of a head, but goes over well in the end and is fairly drinkable. (It does get a bit sweet after the second one though)

Apr 9, 2007 Pleasant aroma, satisfyingly opaque. I don’t understand why people are so down on this beer -- the raspberry more than covers up any deficiencies in the wheat beer base of Purple Haze. Like most wheat beers, the taste is by no means complex, though complexity and satisfaction need not be synonymous. I find this brew refreshing and satisfying, and, when I’m in the mood for a wheat beer, find myself purchasing this particular beer 20% of the time -- the other 80% being split between paulaner hefeweizen and hoegaarden. Though those two brews outclass this particular brew, this brew is unique and is always a crowd pleaser.

Apr 7, 2007 12 oz bottle. Light lavender color with minimal head. Rasperry aromas as well as the flavor. Wheat twang on the finish. Not bad considering.
