Hazy IPA Infused with Terpene. Azacca, Citra, and Mosaic Hops, Beta-Pinene and Linalool Terpenes (naturally derived from botanical sources), 2-Row, Golden Promise, Wheat, Oat, and Honey Malt.

From mythic hammer-wielding beasts to intergalactic agriculturists, here at Clown Shoes we think about some crazy stuff. But even we can barely comprehend the natural wonder of a big, beautiful rainbow. We will forever remain in awe of those massive swaths of vibrant color that stretch forever into the horizon.

This Hazy IPA contains the terpenes Beta-Pinene and Linalool, aromatic compounds derived from natural botanical sources. They supplement the sweet malt backbone and lively blend of Azacca, Citra, and Mosaic hops that make Rainbows Are Real shine with fresh, juicy notes of sweet citrus.

Poured from a 16oz can to a tulip glass. I would describe it as hazy copper orange with a small rocky head that leaves a firm lacing on the glass. Aroma is fruit forward, of grapefruit and orange. Taste is a fruit bomb of mango, grapefruit and orange juices that finishes a bit grassy without a noticeable hop bite. Mouthfeel is medium but watery. Easy to sip without much to think about. Cheers!

On tap this lunchtime at Brew Ridge Taps in Lexington VA.

Not particularly hazy, head retains well. Aroma is very fruity. On tasting, while pleasant enough, it's simply a tropical fruit bomb and a bit on the sweet side. No real hop bite to speak of.

Overall, certainly drinkable and refreshing. Abv well nigh invisible. Beer fruit juice

Pours cloudy pale yellow small head. Lot going on with the smell grapefruit and more. Taste light bitterness just right feel. Overall one the better hazy I had in a long time.

Hazy golden orange

Big head with lots of lacing

Citrus, mango, pineapple all good but then there's an aftertaste that's like...lavender that kind of ruins it for me

Mouthfeel adequate

Not horrible but I personally don't love the aftertaste
