Hazy Little Thing IPA
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

 

 

 

 

Always fresh, great tasting IPA. Never go wrong with this one.

An IPA loaded with flavor. Intense aroma of citrus and hops. Solid hop flavor slows you down as you savor it. It pours with a solid white head that hangs around nicely. A classic IPA that doesn't push the ABV into the stratosphere like Elysian Space Dust, a mere 6.7%. Way beyond any lager. One of my favorite US brewers.

 

 

Main thoughts about this beer:

Refreshing, sweet, juicy and fruity, Juicy Fruit (it seriously reminds me of the gum), somewhat subtle.

There are also some nice, but subtle floral and piney complexities. Overall, has a lot of good flavor and is enjoyable to drink, but is on the low key side for an IPA.

 

 

A very good IPA at a reasonable price. Very smooth right out of the can .I will definitely purchase again for sure A +

 

From a 12 oz can into a pint glass, hazy orange yellow color with a massive white foamy head. Slow fade with lots of sticky residual foam and lacing. Nose of citrus – primarily oranges. Tastes semi-sweet citrus fruity – tangerine / orange with mild, dry citrus hops at the end. In the mouth it’s watery and quenching with low viscosity. Overall, a decent hazy citrus IPA. Would try again.

The 12 oz can pours beautifully. A 2.5 finger head is light and fluffy with a little lacing as things calm down. The look is hazy and raw, letting you know you're in for an adventure. It's slightly citrus, candy citrus and a bit hoppy on the nose. Then for me, though, the adventure slows down. The taste is nice, but tame, very tame. Some light citrus orange, maybe stonefruit, but again very light. No hoppy west coast thing at all, really, but again, it's a New England style, so that's not expected. It's really nice, maybe too nice. It feels to me like a good introductory hazy IPA for someone who wants to ease into the realm of hazys.

Hazy golden pour, steady half finger of white foam, bits if lace forming. Nose is tropical fruit.

Taste is mango, pineapple, papaya, sweet citrus, light kilned malt. Medium mouthfeel, creamy oats. Finish is citrus and lightly dank resin notes with a little extra tropical jam at the end.
