Mo Haze IC
Migration Brewing Company

I had this beer on-tap in a tulip at the brewery in Portland.

Appearance: medium yellow hue with plenty of haze and a cap of frothy ivory foam.

Smell: sweet malt with a nice mix of grapefruit, passionfruit, and pineapple hop aromas. Potent and enticing!

Taste: sweet with a more passionfruity flavor than the aroma. Not quite as lovely as the aroma, but still a good beer.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a pretty solid hazy. Not perfect, but it has a nice aroma and ticks all the boxes.

Pours a hazy golden with a decent head. Aroma is fruity as is taste. Taste is fruitier citrus with a mild finish. Good hazy IPA.

 

Pours a cloudy pale orange with a half finger of head that settles to a thin ring with a little lacing. Faint piney aroma with traces of citrus. Taste follows nose. Nice.

have not seen beer from these guys for sale in idaho before i just encountered this at prefunk. enjoyed my visit here years ago, good to see them expanding. this is a relatively basic but also really fresh and good mosaic hazy ipa, but i think there has to be more than mosaic in here, its more dynamic, not just catty and canned pineapple, i get some pine too in the nose, mango juice, maybe a little melon, and in the flavor its limey, southern hemisphere too with white grape, white peach, and green pear juiciness, lightly herbal too, although mosaic still drives it, familiar at its core, could be some new fangled mosaic product, a cryo or a lupulin max thing, it pops in both aroma and flavor. looks a bit like orange juice, cloudy but bright and with a standard one inch white head from the tap, a little thicker in look and feel than i need, starchy and maybe wheaty or a little raw, at least its dry. the beer objectively might benefit from a tad more refinement, but the hop profile is undeniable delicious in nose and taste, and its carbonated enough that its not heavy to drink on. distinct enough with these hops to stand out, this will do really well here if they can keep bringing it in this fresh!

12oz can

Pours two fingers of dense white head into my can-style glass. Retention is very nice, with a half finger of head remaining after a good 5 minutes. Initial lacing looks good. Body is a dark hazy orange, nearly brown. The color is pretty unattractive, but the rest looks good so far.

Nose is faint tropical, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit. Gets pretty juicy with agitation, passionfruit intensifies. Definitely a little sweetness. I’m not crazy about this, but it smells inviting.

Flavor has a lot of that passionfruit, traces of mango, some dankness in the finish. This actually works pretty well, very juicy, but it’s still crisp and it still tastes like beer.

Carbonation is on the lower side. Body is medium-light. A nice medium dose of sweetness. Bitterness is on the lower side, but present. Very smooth overall, and it sets the tone well for this juicy narrative. Nice mouthfeel.

Drinkability is very high

Appearance turned out quite nice. Lacing was pretty solid all the way down and the head was resilient.

Overall a nice, moderate hazy. While it’s juicy, it’s not JUICY - like what some psycho’s put into cans.

12oz can served in a tulip. Dated 05/05/21.

Moderately hazy, dull amber in color, medium sized head with a big flash of carbonation on the pour, settles into a thin film that crawls up the side of the glass and a moderate amount of active carbonation. Smell is tropical juice -- pineapple in particular. Maybe a hint of biscuit.

Taste tropical, but less one-note than the aroma. Pineapple is there for sure, but I think I get some guava and mango, too. Moderate sweetness balanced by a fruit skin bitterness, neither overwhelming.

Mouthfeel is smooth, medium or a little thicker, but soft and almost fluffy. Overall, this is a really nice chill out beer. Flavorful, interesting, but not demanding.

 

 

canned on 2/13. Opened on 5/17(2021).
6.1%ABV.

Hazy golden amber, thickish head, fruity and floral aroma. Very smooth taste, more floral tastes, with a light background of malt in a supporting role. The bitterness is well managed and it's no hop-bomb, thank goodness. Clean finish, no harshness. Good as any, better than some. If we see it again, we'll look to pick up another couple.

 

 

 

 

 

The intended appearance of yeast slurry is achieved. Opaque brown tinted orange with an Orange Julius frothy white head. Sticky web lacing from top to bottom.

Aroma is straight confectioners sugar and guava. Maaaaybe some berries too.

Much more fruity and less sweet than expected. Guavo, mango, melon, blueberry, burnt rubber and pine. Sappy pine, not damp bitter pine.

Speaking of not bitter, luckily this has just enough to almost keep it balanced. Almost. Still a bit sweet with a smooth and creamy complexity and soft carbonation.

Overall, this may be one of the better standard hazy IPAs I've had. Not to sugary sweet. Cheers.
