Fat Head's Hazy Head Hunter

Tap to rate

Fat Head's hazy interpretation of Head Hunter — Citra, Krush, and Simcoe hops with the brewery's house hazy yeast. Juicy notes of ripe berries, fresh-squeezed citrus, and stone fruits; soft, velvety mouthfeel; very low bitterness. The hazy counterweight to Head Hunter's West Coast aggression.

◌ Aroma

Aromatic profile centers on bright citrus and stone fruit notes — fresh orange peel and ripe peach emerge first, followed by hints of berry and tropical fruit. The Citra, Krush, and Simcoe hops contribute gentle floral and herbal undertones without sharp hop bite. A soft, yeasty backdrop supports the fruity expression without adding grain or phenolic character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with peach and orange leading into a soft, velvety mid-palate. The fruity character dominates — stone fruit and berries blend seamlessly with subtle tropical notes. Bitterness is restrained at 30 IBU, allowing sweetness and juice to remain foremost; the finish is clean without astringency or harsh hop resin.

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.
