Great Lakes Brewing Company

Hazy IPA·United States·6.5% ABV·One of 665 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Midwest Hazy IPA's tropical and hazy character. The cloudy sister of Midwest IPA, soft-launched in late 2024 and in six-packs since February 2025, when it took over from Hazecraft as the year-round hazy beer. The brewery describes a turbid, pillowy body and lower bitterness than the clear version. Mosaic, Citra, Sabro, Azacca, Idaho 7 and Strata go over two-row, Carapils, oats and wheat. Mango, tangerine and ripe pineapple lead the nose, Sabro adds a faint coconut note, and a gentle cracker-like malt leads to a soft, round finish.
