Haze Phaze IPA

Tap to rate

A deliberately cloudy IPA hopped with Citra, El Dorado and Galaxy, the brewery's move into the hazy style. It pours thickly opaque and opens with citrus, tropical fruit and stone fruit on the nose. The palate follows with bright citrus and a sweet fruit character carried by a soft, rounded mouthfeel, and the bitterness sits well back so the finish stays balanced rather than sharp.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Haze Phaze IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours thickly opaque with a pale golden hue beneath the haze, characteristic of the New England style. The dense, creamy head settles into a persistent collar. Fine carbonation supports a soft, pillowy presentation without sharp edges.

pale goldenopaquecreamy head

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright Citra citrus—grapefruit zest and tangerine—layered beneath tropical stone fruit from El Dorado and Galaxy. Peach and papaya emerge in the mid-ground, while the base remains clean and yeast-neutral, allowing the hop character to dominate without earthiness or herbal intrusion.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and citrus-forward, with bright acidity balancing a restrained, rounded sweetness. The mid-palate carries soft fruit notes—orange and mango—over a whipped, voluptuous mouthfeel that obscures structure. Bitterness sits deliberately low, finishing clean and balanced rather than sharp or resinous.

◑ Finish

Short to medium, fading gracefully with lingering citrus pith and a whisper of stone fruit. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, never sticky or cloying.

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.
