Big Hazy
Lawson's Finest Liquids

 

 

Pours a hazy gold. Thick foam. Tropical aroma. Big orange hop body. Juicy and sweet. Medium bitter finish. Great flavor. Very drinkable in spite of the ABV.

Pithy, Cara Cara oranges.. good stuff

Appearance: The body of the beer is a pale gold color and it has a light haze to it. It is still easy to see shapes through the glass but they appear more as a slightly fuzzy shadow. It has a medium-sized fluffy white head which has a bit of a creamy texture to it. It leaves a few strings and dots of lacing on the glass.

Aroma: It has a bit of a grapefruit aroma with some pineapple and a touch of garlic. It smells good.

Taste: There is a bit of a sour character up front that has a bit of tangerine and mango flavor. It is nice and tropical tasting. The flavor amplifies with a lot more mango character towards the middle of the palate. Some grapefruit flavor comes through here as well. It has really good tropical flavors with a splash of citrus. There is a hint of alcohol floating in the background which lets you know that it's there but the fruit flavors here dominate. It has some grapefruit towards the back of the mouth which is really nice. At times it comes across with a fruitcake flavor.

Mouthfeel: It feels medium-full bodied with a heavy slickness to the beer which makes it a definite sipper. There is an alcohol presence with a bit of warmth on the palate. It has medium-strength hop bitterness which comes across a bit like citrus pith.

Overall: It was a very enjoyable beer. The can states that this is an "IPA" and below that "HAZY DIPA WITH ORANGES." While it does have some citrus quality, it really doesn't taste much like oranges at all. The tropical notes really seem to shine here but even with the citrus character it has more of a grapefruit note. That isn't a bad thing but it's worth noting if somebody wanted a more orange-centric beer, this one feels more tropical. It is smooth and very enjoyable to drink. I would buy it again and I would recommend it.

It's worth noting that the beer is listed here as a New England IPA and it really doesn't feel like a New England IPA or New England DIPA. It feels more like a regular DIPA which happens to be hazy and have more tropical flavors and aromas.

Big hazy pours a darker copper color, with a large long lasting lacing head. The aroma is dry, fruity with lots of orange. The flavor is dry, fruity with mostly nice orange note. Good feel. Overall, a very nice fruity IPA.

 

 

Lawson's Sip and Little Sip are still a go to for NEIPAs. Sadly these hazy namesakes don't near that high bar. This is a big beer and burned a bit going down, not something i want in my hazies.

16 oz can dated 09/06/23, almost 7 weeks old.

Hops: I assume Citra like the other Sip beers? The addition of oranges is weird but let's see.

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. I usually don't like fruit addition to beers and anything above 8% usually tastes too hot for me. However, this beer is delicious.

16oz can. Bottom stamp reads 'CANNED ON: 08/22/23'.
Light hazy, pale gold colored body. Pours an over the rim two finger white head, which reduces to an interrupted cap and ring. Leaves behind some thicker strings of lacing.
Aroma of orange, grapefruit, pineapple, and a little pine.
Taste is strongly led by the orange additions, but also the pineapple and strawberry comes through. Quite sweet but has a bitter touch of pine. Mellow citrus fruits in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Slight tongue burn. Good carbonation.
The flavors grow more inviting as one gets acquainted with the sharpness of the brew. Solid malt base.

Tall can

Nice looking hazed up pour, leaves more then ample fine lacing all over the glass.

Fruit infused sniff with ripe mango, lime and melon all coming to mind.

Fruity, fresh, complex, heady at over 9% and def on the hazy/juicy/sweet side of the IPA continuum. Well crafted and highly enjoyable…go get some

 

Pours yellow orange with a light haze. Smells of orange and grapefruit. The orange is more prominent in the flavor, as you'd expect from the addition of orange peel and actual orange to the beer. Finish is nicely bitter, mouthfeel is a bit thin. The 9.2% abv is very well-hidden.

Overall, a very nice beer
