Commercial Description:
According to the bartender, the Purple in the name of this beer is either a tribute to the name/code word for Bootlegging gangs or it was used as some sort of encryption code during World War 2.

10 ounce sample tasted at the brewpub. Fruity, strawberry-like aroma with some light metallic banana notes present as well. Mild to moderately hazy coppery honey colored body with an off-white head. Lightly sweet caramelly start which becomes surprisingly grainy and roasted/toasted in the middle. Finishes herbal, earthy, and bitter with these hops. Some mildly metallic lager notes. A fair brew, but pretty forgettable.
