Hazy Freak
Opa Opa Brewing Company

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy orange color with a puffy head of off-white foam. The head has a great level of retention, leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is rather strong of a tropical fruit smell of tangerine, mango, and pineapple. Along with these aromas comes a big grapefruit smell as well as some herbal and pine hop. Other aromas of an apricot and peach are there as well, creating a rather nice smell overall.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweet bready taste, with the sweet being mainly of a fruity tropical and citrus fruit flavor of tangerine, orange, papaya, and mango. There is a decently strong herbal and earthy hop as well as some grapefruit hop flavors as well. These tastes get stronger as the taste advances, all while some of the sweeter flavors fade a touch. At the same time there is a bit of hay and grain that join in, and with some light dirt like flavors, one is left with a rather nice, not overly sweet or citrusy, but smooth taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium to slightly thicker with a carbonation level that is slightly higher. For the style and the tastes the feel is nice and makes for an easy sipper.
Overall – A nice NEIPA. Good flavor, good feel, not too sweet, and very drinkable.

 

 

 

Tropical notes, slight bitterness. Totally crushable.
