Elevated H.A.Z.Y. IPA
SweetWater Brewing Company

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Nice tropical citrus scent and a god of white head. Guy balance of fruit and hops with a pleasant finish. Another god be from Sweetwater.

 

 

Hazy light yellow gold color with solid white cap and lacing.

Nice citrus aroma, I get something like ripe pineapple but could easily add a few more tropical fruit aromas. A more earthy sort of ripe fruit aroma.

Taste on entry is rich, ripe, full citrus. No shrinking violet here, this stuff comes on full blast. That's not to say brash, rather straight forward with no apology. My first thought is full flavor yet I'm also struck by balance of flavors. I've had IPAs that were over citrus or over hoppy but this one goes in a straight line down the middle. Clean finish with pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Medium full texture with balancing carbonation.

Very good example of an NEIPA from a Brewery that routinely hits home runs.

Best beer you can get on a domestic flight, hands down. Positively stuffed with flavor. I was on a short flight last week and had spent the week drinking. I didn't even want a beer. But when I saw this was available, I ordered it without hesitation, and I have no regrets.
