Golden-yellow hue. Sticky small white head. Nose of light rapberry, sweetness in the backdrop, dry palate, acidic finish...Nothing spectacular by any means.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2005 Sampler from bottle at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/orland-par 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.

Don’t like sweet...don’t like wheat...but not aweful...pours yellow with a hint of purple with a decent head...smells very malty with a sweet touch of raspberry...tastes much the same...smells and looks more appealing than it actually is...

Bottle: Pink Grapefruit in color, very hazy, moderate white foamy head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation.   Very pale fruity aroma, somewhat like sweetened Grapefruit with only a hint of raspberry.   Fairly artificial pale berry like fruity flavor, somewhat non-descript, and very light.   Clean finish, minor tartness lingers.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Somewhat sticky feeling after the finish.   Not bad, but fairly plain and quite boring for a Fruit Beer.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2008 [bottle] Pours a hazy peach color with a thick and fluffy white head and good carbonation. Very faint wheaty aroma with a touch of raspberry. Wheaty and grainy taste. Not very fruity, although there was a slight hint of raspberry at the end. Very thin and watery brew.

Cool name. Cloudy amber with white frothy head and some lacing. Sweet raspberry aroma. Sparkling mouth feel and some hint of raspberry to the flavor. Pleasant and refreshing but nothing special. This Purple Haze did not cast a spell on me.

I liked the concept more than the actual beer. It pours a cloudy golden color similar to other wheat beers, but had a very tart taste. I love sweet fruit beers, but this one was not as enjoyable as I was hoping.
