Purple Haze
This is a beer that my wife likes alot, so I thought I'd give it a try. Pours out of the bottle a hazy golden color with a white foamy head. The head has minimal thickness (about a half inch) which diminishes quickly. The head that remains just barely clings to the side of the glass with a large void in the middle. There is very little lacing and even that has a hard time hanging around. The smell is good. It resonates a sweet raspberry smell followed by a slight hop and malt presence. As far as taste goes, I prefer an ale to a lager in the way of fruit beers. However, the taste is pretty good. A tart taste hits the back of the tongue followed by a very light bitterness. The aftertaste is more concentrated on the sweet raspberry flavor than anything else, leaving a candy like component in the throat. This is a very effervescent beer with a mouthfeel that reminds me of a domestic light beer. The sweetness leaves the drinkability at one beer per session. More than that and you would be likely to end up with a stomach ache.
