Bat Chit Hazy
Joseph James Brewing Inc.

Pours a cloudy/hazy yellow golden color with white head. Oranges, grapefruit, other citrus, and some juice on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied and chewy. Finishes with some tropical fruit notes.

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz can. Pours super milky brown orange with a small creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet malt and tropical fruit and piney hops.

The flavor is sweet doughy malts with juicy tropical fruit and piney hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little watery.

Overall, a decent NE IPA.

L - Looks like a standard hazy as f New England style IPA, a bit "muddy" or "murkier" looking though, maybe just a bit over turbid looking. There is also some major yeast sediment/hop particulate settling on the bottom that didn't look too appealing.

S - Smells decent, oranges, tangerines, lots of bitter almost borderline rotten citrus like an old grapefruit. Something is slightly off here but not terrible.

T - Same as smell, maybe a little less flavorful than smell. Definitely an astringent, bitter aftertaste which I don't really like. Up front there is some juicy sweetness, just wish it stuck around longer before the bitterness takes over. Most likely a lot of the astringency is from the hop particulates on the bottom?

F - Medium-low density, could use a bit more mouthfeel to be appropriate for this style but at least it's not watery.

O - Overall an alright attempt at a hazy, juicy IPA. Not the worst but I would hesitate before buying another 6-pack unless no other NE IPAs were around.

12oz can. Much more turbid than it is hazy, murky yellow. Smells nice and juicy. Citrus aroma, canned pineapple juice. The flavor is not quite as good as the aroma, more pineapple juice, some orange juice. Overall it is not bad but I won't revisit. If your into hazy IPA's you might like it more than I.

Dank, piney, citrusy ipa. Very hazy. Bitter after taste. Very hoppy.
