Hazy Jane

Tap to rate

Pineapple, mango and stone fruit lead, with a hint of tangerine, in a smooth, juicy body. New England detuned: the full fruit hit with less alcohol, at 5.0%. Oats and wheat, no filtering, and Cascade, Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe as hops. One of the four Headliner beers, it won Gold and the Scotland Country Winner title in Milk Shake IPA/New England IPA at the 2026 World Beer Awards.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Jane

◎ Appearance

Hazy Jane presents a cloudy, golden-orange hue with excellent haziness throughout, creating an inviting visual appeal characteristic of the style. A thick, creamy white head forms upon pour and maintains good retention, while the unfiltered nature is evident in the suspended particles. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, contributing to the soft, pillowy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant tropical and citrus notes, with prominent grapefruit zest and juicy mango leading the charge from the American hop blend. Secondary aromas of stone fruit and subtle pine provide complexity without overwhelming the bright, fruity character. The aromatic profile is clean and hop-forward, with minimal yeast or malt contribution, allowing the fruit-forward character to take center stage.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is smooth and approachable, with juicy tropical and citrus flavors developing immediately across the mid-palate. Stone fruit notes complement the citrus character, while the 35 IBU bitterness remains restrained and well-balanced, never dominating the fruity profile. The creamy, soft mouthfeel provides an enjoyable texture that enhances the overall drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering citrus notes fading gracefully without harsh bitterness or astringency. The low alcohol content (5% ABV) ensures a crisp, refreshing conclusion that invites another sip.

Tulip glass

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