hopIQ take
Stellar Jay if you want bright citrus snap and clean finish,
Foggy Dog if you want creamy mouthfeel and deeper tropical notes.
Both sit at 6.5% and play in the hazy lane, but they're built differently. Stellar Jay reads leaner, more refreshing—the kind you drink fast. Foggy Dog lingers, softer, asking you to slow down.

Dancing Gnome Stellar Jay Hazy IPA
Stellar Jay hits you with grapefruit zest right away, almost Meyer lemon brightness. The body's light enough that you taste the hops clearly without any murk or thickness getting in the way. It's crisp for a hazy—doesn't feel heavy on the tongue. Finishes dry and snappy, no residual sweetness hanging around.
Foggy Dog
Foggy Dog feels pillowy from the first sip, almost creamy. You get mango and passion fruit rolling underneath, but it's soft-focus—less sharp citrus, more juice box vibes. The body is noticeably fuller than Stellar Jay, and that extra weight makes it feel richer. Bitterness is restrained, letting the fruit sit front and center.
