Hazy AF

◎ Appearance

Hazy AF presents a pale golden hue with visible suspended matter creating a soft, diffuse quality throughout the glass. The head is modest but persistent, with fine bubbles clinging to the glass walls in delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the New England aesthetic without aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit notes—pineapple and citrus from the Citra and Mosaic hops—layered beneath grassy, herbal undertones from Simcoe. A subtle sweetness from the lactose and oat-wheat base adds body to the bouquet, while the grass-forward character prevents cloying accumulation. The overall impression is fresh and session-focused, with no alcohol vapors evident.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied for an alcohol-free expression, with the oats and wheat providing a creamy mouthfeel cushioned by lactose. Mid-palate develops crisp hop bitterness (60 IBU) that doesn't overwhelm but clearly anchors the beer, while tropical and citrus flavors from the hop blend carry through cleanly. The finish dries gradually, leaving a lingering grassy bitterness balanced against residual fruit notes.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and moderately persistent, with the hop character fading into a gentle herbal and grassy echo. No hot alcohol burn appears, allowing the finish to feel genuinely refreshing rather than thin.
