🌍 United States · Hazy IPA · One of 41 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

A San Diego hazy IPA named for the shoe that says, quietly, that it's the weekend. Juicy mango and pineapple-forward hop character, a pillow-soft mouthfeel from oats and wheat, low bitterness. Boat Shoes drinks like California's version of the New England IPA — bright rather than heavy, warm rather than dank. Casual by design.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
