Appearance: Hazy yellow glass held a 3 finger rocky head at pour, too much head making me wonder if it was infected or just over carbonated.
Aroma: A slight under attenuated malt note, some citric hops.
Taste: Big citric hop profile with a candy sweet base. The under attenuation note in the smell isn't here in the taste, but it is very sweet. Mostly clean too, which makes it nice.
Mouthfeel: Medium light body, low carbonation after the drama at pour, slightly watery but clean finish.
Overall: The Hazy IPA brought down to APA levels. It's clever as many people like the hop flavors but don't like the bitterness. This gets you a lot of hop bang for a pretty small package. I like it, could see getting more this summer.

Minuscule head. Somewhat ok for local brew. Poured from aluminum can at a friend’s house so don’t know its grocery store price but I hope it’s cheap. Low ABV of 4.8%. I’m a hop head so IBU is a low 35.

Has a good floral citrus smell that really stands out. The citrus hop flavor is just right, it’s lemon followed by lime with some bitter grapefruit on the back end. It has a great mouthfeel, not at all heavy but still very flavorful. Not high on the abv so you could drink a lot of these. I really can’t say anything thing bad about this. I would’ve given all 5’s but nothing’s perfect.

Copper colored with a fingernail of tan on top. The aroma is of dull citrus hops. I'm tasting citrus hops, light malt, and water. The mouth is watery and quaffable.

more than decent pale ale here, well made if lacking a little in the uniqueness department. the hops profile on it is distinctly northwestern, even old school, heavy C type varietals with the classic grapefruit and pine nose and taste to them, and solid bitterness for a pale ale, its on the fence of being an ipa i think. i really like the juiciness of it, has a very fresh and balanced flavor, and the hops, for being so familiar, seem to be more forward in this beer than they usually are. there is a slightly biscuity malt thing going on here, not sweet at all, but a little richer in color and body, with a dry cerealy flavor that provides a pretty sturdy base for these hops. carbonation is very high, which i love in the style, and the finish is almost clean, with just a little piney hop bitterness left on the palate after the swallow, very little residual sweetness or anything, a refreshing drink, and a beer i could pretty easily make an afternoon of. only my second ever beer from oasis, but another good one.
