Green Beacon Hazy IPA

Tap to rate

Green Beacon Hazy IPA is a modern hazy IPA brewed for a soft, rounded body rather than a sharp bitter edge. It pours cloudy. Zesty tropical hop aromas open the glass, and the palate follows with fresh pineapple, passion fruit and lime. The texture is smooth, bitterness stays in the background, and the juicy fruit character carries the beer from the first sip to a gently lingering finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Green Beacon Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a cloudy, pale golden appearance characteristic of the New England IPA style. The haze arises from suspended yeast and proteins, creating an opaque, inviting presentation. A moderate white head forms and settles into a light ring of lacing around the glass.

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.
