It may seem like there are already a million different hazy IPAs out there, but the quest for our next favorite never ends. This Hazy DIPA is full bodied and balanced with a heavy hop load of Citra, Riwaka, Krush, Galaxy, and Idaho 7 for a bright mix of stone fruit and tropical aromatics.

From an aluminum can, this one is a super hazy, murky straw color with a tall white head. The aroma has a remarkable citrus and grapefruit quality. There is also a wet hop must scent. Balanced flavor with lots of hop taste. Full in body with a fruit forward finish. Flavorful and interesting.

Very hazy/cloudy yellow color with a respectable and long lasting creamy white head with some lacing.
The aroma is citrus and tropical fruit.
The taste is grapefruit, tangerine, mango, passion fruit, peach and melon with a bit of an herbal finish, slightly sweet, tart, moderate bitterness, nice balance.
The body is full, creamy smooth, ABV is noticeable and appreciated but subtle.
Altogether, this is a very tasty IPA, should go well with hearty foods, would be nice on a beach but great anytime, very well done.

Mind Haze Galaxy Bender has a very thick and creamy, slightly off-white head, and an opaque, gray-yellow-orange appearance, with heavy glass lacing. The aroma is of sharp, dank, vegetative hop oils and white wheat bread. It has a similar flavor, with bold sweetness and bitterness. Mind Haze Galaxy Bender has a high-medium body and a mostly-dry finish.
