Hazy Weekend

Tap to rate

Hazy Weekend joined the core range in January 2026 as the hazy counterpart to Weekend Vibes. Simcoe, Centennial and Citra hops meet a grist of pale malt, rolled oats and unmalted white wheat, which give the beer its cloudy look and soft body. The aroma brings waves of citrus and pineapple with a dank, slightly piney edge. On the palate it is juicy and smooth, with orange and tropical fruit over a gentle grainy base, and the bitterness stays restrained in a soft finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Weekend

◎ Appearance

Hazy Weekend presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspension of yeast and grain particles. The beer holds a modest white head with fine retention and even lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and even throughout, reinforcing the soft, approachable character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent citrus and pineapple notes, layered over a subtle dank, piney character from the Simcoe, Centennial and Citra hop blend. Beneath the fruit sits a clean, unobtrusive malt base with gentle grain sweetness. The overall impression is bright and inviting, without aggressive herbal or resinous edges.

◐ Taste

On the palate, the beer is juicy and smooth, with orange and tropical fruit flavors unfolding over a gently grainy foundation from pale malt, rolled oats and unmalted white wheat. The bitterness integrates softly and does not dominate; at 55 IBU, it provides structural support rather than sharp bite. The mouthfeel is light yet full enough to carry the fruit expression without feeling thin.

◑ Finish

The finish is restrained and clean, with fruit and grain notes fading gradually into a dry, pleasant aftertaste. No harsh astringency or lingering hop burn interrupts the departure.

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.
