Symphonic Chronic Double Haze

Deschutes Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 160 Double IPAs in hopIQ

Symphonic Chronic Double Haze is the softer, slightly cloudy double IPA of the brewery's year-round Symphonic Chronic line, with wheat added to pale two-row malt for a fuller body. Citra, Nugget and the hop variety HBC 1019 give ripe pineapple, papaya and tangerine alongside candy-like citrus, stone fruit and an evergreen, resinous note. Light caramel and bready malt sit underneath, the alcohol stays well hidden, and the finish is medium-dry with moderate bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Symphonic Chronic Double Haze

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, deliberate haze from wheat suspension and unfiltered presentation. A dense, creamy white head forms readily and holds firm to the glass walls with fine, persistent lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and tropical fruit notes—papaya and pineapple dominate, underscored by bright tangerine citrus with a candy-like sweetness. A subtle evergreen and resinous layer emerges in the mid-nose, grounding the fruit without sharpness. Light bready and caramel malt undertones support without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, with the wheat malt contributing a fuller, pillowy mouthfeel that softens the bitterness. Ripe pineapple and papaya flavors expand across the palate alongside stone fruit and tangerine notes, followed by that candy-like citrus character. A gentle evergreen and resinous spine threads through; the alcohol remains well integrated, and light caramel malt provides grounding sweetness without cloying.
