High & Hazy

Tap to rate

Tropical and citrus-forward hops, Citra, Simcoe and Idaho 7, lead this hazy IPA, while wheat and flaked oats make it soft and silky and a late hop addition keeps the bitterness laid-back. 5.8% ABV, 46 IBU. The label takes its cue from the Grateful Dead's Aoxomoxoa, with cartoon figures getting high and hazy in a psychedelic dreamscape.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—pineapple and mango—layered with citrus zest from Citra and Idaho 7 hops. Subtle resinous and herbaceous undertones emerge as the beer warms, while the wheat and oats contribute a soft, almost creamy grain backdrop without any harsh spice or vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with tropical and citrus flavors immediately taking the center. The mid-palate showcases the silky mouthfeel from flaked oats, while Simcoe adds subtle pine and berry complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 46 IBU, lingering as a gentle, leafy finish rather than a sharp bite.

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.
