Hazy

Tap to rate

Papaya and mango carry the aroma, citrus runs through the hops, and a hint of ripe strawberry closes the finish. Almost six pounds of hops per barrel go in, dry hopped with Citra, El Dorado and Mosaic, on a base of flaked oats and malted wheat fermented with London Ale III yeast. 6.2% ABV, 25 IBU, brewed year-round.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy

◎ Appearance

Hazy pours a pale golden yellow with a soft, diffuse haze throughout—characteristic of the style. The head rises quickly and settles to a thick, creamy crown that clings persistently to the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle shimmer within the cloudy matrix.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit: papaya and ripe mango dominate, layered beneath with juicy stone fruit and citrus zest from the dry hop blend. Citra, El Dorado, and Mosaic work in concert to build a fragrant, fruit-forward profile that feels light and inviting rather than punishing. Underneath runs a subtle grain sweetness from the oats and wheat, grounding the volatile hop aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and smooth, cushioned by flaked oats and malted wheat that lend a delicate, almost creamy mouthfeel. The mid-palate unfolds with tropical and citrus notes echoing the aroma, balanced against a restrained bitterness (25 IBU) that suggests rather than asserts itself. A hint of ripe strawberry appears mid-sip, adding complexity and juiciness without tipping toward candy or artificial sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-short and clean, with the strawberry note persisting as a subtle, slightly tart closure. Drying is moderate, leaving behind a lingering fruity impression rather than resinous bitterness.

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.
