Hazy Days
Willoughby Brewing

 

 

16oz can purchased as a single for $3. No date stamp.

Vigorous pour into DFH chalice leaves a two-finger, bright white head of foam which dissipates to a thick rim. The brew is an orange-straw combo and leaves thick lacing crags during the tasting.

Really nice aroma of tropical hops, pineapple, tangerine with some faint grass and biscuit malt.

The tropical fruit hits first and a nice hop bitterness lingers on the finish. In between are subtle grass, pine and cracked wheat for balance.

Medium body, nicely carbonated, refreshing.

Nicely done hoppy wheat ale. The hops predominate but do not overpower the lightness of the wheat, providing a refreshing summer brew.

 

 

Foggy amber with a bubbly foam head clinging in fuzzy hills.

Smell is pineapple with spicy dank pepper and pine.

This is smooth and round on the palate with biscuit, peach, apple and orange finishing semi-wet.

 

 

Picked up a 4-pack from the Brewery. Gone in two days! This is a delicious beer.

Smell is tropical fruit, citrus, a little grassy/piney. Taste follows smell. The interesting thing about this beer is that it's so low bitterness, and yet has so much hop presence. Not sure how they pulled it off.

The wheat gives it a an interesting mouthfeel - you'd almost think there was a little fruit pulp in the beer, but that's as much a function of the flavor as the mouthfeel.

Overall an excellent summer sessions beer. I could easily drink a 4-pack in an afternoon - so good!

16oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy, cloudy and murky light orange; small white head that fades leaving solid retention and lacing. The aromas are very nice. Lots of tropical notes. Pineapple, orange and sticky grapefruit in the mix. Slightly musty. Some grass. Some sweet malts are present. The flavors basically follow the nose. More tropical notes along with some hints of citrus. Some orange and grapefruit in the mix. Fresh grass is there. It's not bitter at all, but has tons of hop flavor. The wheat is present, but subtle. Alcohol goes completely unnoticed. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's slightly syrupy, but is very smooth and easy to drink.

This is a very nice wheat ale. It's very refreshing and fun to drink. Well crafted. Recommended if you come across it.

 

 

 

 

 

Had a glass at the brewery, liked it enough to bring home a 4-pack. This review is from the 16 oz can, poured into a glass: Pours cloudy (as the name implies) yellow-orange. Attractive head doesn't linger long. The can says 17 IBU, but the aroma is all bright citrusy hops. Taste is all grapefruit at first but then the wheat finally shows up. Flavor is dominated by hops, but it's not very bitter. Drinkability is excellent, very refreshing. Excellent summer beer.

 

 

 

Fantastic hoppy wheat and among best I've tried. Super crisp with lots of aroma hops bursting through. Citrusy and tropical - perfect summer beer.
