Hazy Snake IPA

Tap to rate

Juicy tropical fruit leads, followed by citrus, grapefruit, stone fruit and berry from Idaho 7, Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade hops. Late kettle additions and several dry hops build flavor and aroma while the bitterness stays low. 2-Row, wheat, flaked oats and dextrin shape the body. Hazy Snake is an offshoot of Snake Handler and shares its love of big flavor and hop bite.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Snake IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy Snake presents a luminous golden-orange hue, clouded deliberately through Hefe to create a soft, diffuse appearance. The head rises full and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine foam architecture. Carbonation manifests as a gentle, sustained stream of fine bubbles through the hazy medium.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads immediately with bright tropical stone fruit—ripe peach, apricot, and mango—underpinned by juicy citrus and grapefruit zest from Citra and Idaho 7. A subtle resinous edge emerges beneath, while the wheat and flaked oats contribute a soft, creamy backdrop. The late kettle and dry-hop additions layer without dominating, keeping the profile clean and fruit-forward.

◐ Taste

Entry is plush and juicy, with tropical fruit and stone fruit character filling the palate immediately. The mid-palate develops berry undertones and subtle citrus complexity, while the bitterness remains soft and integrated—never sharp. The 6.9% ABV and oat-forward body create a full, rounded mouthfeel that supports the hop flavors without becoming heavy.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium and refreshing, allowing the fruity and resinous notes to fade gradually rather than abruptly. A faint citrus and peach persistence lingers without drying the mouth.

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.
