Texted my buddy who likes to try drink fruity beers. Said he has had few raspberry wheat beers.

Only one he said he would buy again is called Purple Haze.

He said another was just okay called Shock Top raspberry Wheat. Would drink it if it was free.

Third he couldn't remember so he looked up the name. Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat. Said it was way too sweet and wouldn't even drink it again if it was free.

Purple Haze is a good beer. Used to go to a New Orleans influenced bar in Ft. Lauderdale and would always drink it there. It's brewed in Louisiana somewhere. Fiver, going to tell us the name of the beer?
 
I know that one. It is basically a donut, but sometimes in a different configuration. Although there are ring-shaped crullers too. I don't know what the major distinction is between a donut and a cruller.

The curly ring in the middle here is a cruller, but some crullers are like rectangular slabs.

There are French Crullers, Orange Crullers, Chocolate Crullers, Walnut Crullers. My favorite is orange.




Crullers :up:

Sometimes a cruller is a doughnut dough leavened with yeast or baking powder that's shaped into a long twist, deep fried and sprinkled with sugar or glazed with a thin icing. The traditional French cruller is made from pate a choux and is basically hollow. The word "cruller" comes from the Dutch word "krulle" or "krullen," meaning twisted cake.

Regular cruller that that has a heavy fullness to it!

found it... Golden Tate of the Seahawks

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/sh...te-involved-in-donut-related-m?urn=nfl-246624

When I interviewed former Notre Dame and current Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate(notes) for the Washington Post in March, I should have asked him if he had a sweet tooth. Evidently he does, and it seems to have gotten the rookie in a bit of trouble. As first reported by TMZ.com, Tate was given a trespass warning by police in Bellevue, Washington (a suburb of Seattle) when the owner of the Top Pot donut shop below the apartment complex in which Tate lives noticed that there were intruders in his place of business at 3:00 last Saturday morning. The Seattle Times reports that Tate and a friend got in via a common door that was left open.
Tate said that the idea was to go into the shop to grab a few maple bars, which are apparently addictive to the extreme. "They're irresistible," Tate told the media after his pastry caper was made public. "It was kind of a foolish mistake that won't happen again. But if you ever want some maple bars, that's the place to go.
