Imperial Hazy IPA
Four Peaks Brewing Company - 8th Street Pub

 

Pale amber; body would be clear but there is a sh!t ton of suspended particles creating a “haze”; frothy white foam; very good cap retention; bands of sticky lace; streaming carbonation. Nose is grapefruit and lemon/lime. Malty entry; berries; mild coconut; the flavor reminds me of bandaids. Light body; crisp enough feel; moderate minus carbonation; no astringency; no warmth from 8.8% abv. A “Hazy” beer that is not even opaque; the flaked oats present as a glass full of dusty suspended particulates - ever driven in an Arizona dust storm?; gimmicky with a flavor I did not like; one and done.

 

Golden in color with a smallish head. No haze here.
Floral, sweet notes.
Some pineapple and orange. And bitterness. Ripe melon.
Noticeable alcohol, Not over the top tho.
Chewy medium feel, okay balance.
Okay beer for the abv point. Not hazy tho imo.

From the can:

Pours slightly hazed with a thin white head that becomes wispy. Minimal lacing.

The smell is of general citrus - some grass, Mild.

The taste is of grapefruit and a bit of melon. Some hay, Very mild. Black pepper from alcohol in the finish.

Hits medium-bodied. Fairly smooth despite noticeable alcohol.

It is borderline "hazy". The alcohol interferes a bit too much, but it works. A decent brew overall. No real flaws, it just doesn't have much going on. Forgettable, IMO.
