Hazy Eyed Sally
Mikkeller ApS

 

 

Pours bright yellow, hazy with a small white frothy head.
Aroma is pure fruit juice, peach, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, very hoppy.
Taste is hop juice, a punch of hoppy tropical fruit juice.

 

 

 

 

On tap at Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a (quite unsurprisingly) hazy yellow, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like piney spice, tangerine, mango, and pineapple.

This is super, super juicy- is it made with fruit, or is it just hops? There's lots of tangerine and sweet candied melon, with a very little bitterness. There's also grapefruit and pineapple- you get the idea- there's a ton of fruit.

This is light bodied, pretty fluffy and cloud-like, with a good level of carbonation.

This is my first beer from Mikkeller's San Diego outfit- and it's clear they make some nice IPAs.

 

 

 

 

One pint can poured into a pint glass.

Hazy pale yellow in color, it tops with thick frothy white head that withstands with pretty good retention before gradually subsiding to a long-lasting bubble film atop and leaving some lacing patch and spot on the glass-side.

Loads of hop in a nose with its tropical, zesty citrus, orange peel, passion fruit, papaya, ripe mango, lemon, melon, pineapple, strawberry, pine, resin, and spice. Malt is not sunken but nicely discloses with bread and biscuit.

It is of course led by fruity hop in the taste with its tropical, zesty citrus, orange peel, passion fruit, papaya, ripe mango, lemon, melon, pineapple, strawberry, pine, resin, and spice, as well as only slight bitterness. Malt is much bolder comparing to the aroma with notes of bread and biscuit.

Medium body with smooth mouthfeel and lively crisp carbonation through the palate, the feeling is refreshing with a dry finish.

Good New England IPA with lots of fruity hop and maximum freshness, it is so tasty and very easy to drink.
