Central City Brewers + Distillers
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Hazy IPA · One of 58 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

Central City's hazy — Krush as the sole hop over Pale, oats and wheat, at 6.7% and a soft 45 IBUs. Juicy-tropical aroma per the brewery, with a cushioned milky body from the oats-and-wheat base rather than a bright one, smooth finish, none of the West Coast bite.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, juicy, tropical character as Red Racer Hazy IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
