Blurred Lines

Tap to rate

A cloudy New England IPA, named after a pop hit as a nod to its cloudy character. Citrus, passion fruit, peach, pineapple and mango in the aroma, plenty of hoppy, tropical fruit on the palate and a small bitter finish. El Dorado, Galaxy and Mosaic hops sit over barley, wheat and oats, which also carry the haze. 5.3% ABV, best drunk fresh.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blurred Lines

◎ Appearance

This Hazy IPA presents a pale golden hue beneath a deliberately opaque veil, created by suspended yeast and grain proteins rather than cloudiness from age or poor handling. The thick, persistent white head clings to the glass with excellent retention, and fine carbonation creates an appetizing visual texture throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical fruit notes—passion fruit and mango lead, followed by citrus zest and stone fruit characters from the El Dorado, Galaxy, and Mosaic hop blend. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, barely perceptible grain sweetness from the barley, wheat, and oat bill, allowing the hops to dominate without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers juicy, hoppy tropical fruit flavors with prominent peach and pineapple notes that coat the mouth without becoming cloying. A moderate bitterness arrives mid-palate and lingers gently, balancing the fruit sweetness and maintaining freshness rather than asserting dominance. The oat and wheat base provides subtle creaminess and body despite the moderate 5.3% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with hoppy bitterness fading to a faint citrus memory. This beer is designed for immediate enjoyment and loses its vibrancy with age, so freshness is essential to its character.

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.
