Thunder Egg Hazy IPA cracks the sky open in a blaze of tropical glory. Soaring pineapple and mango vibes fly above a booming, earth-shaking citrus essence and a solid resinous backbone.

3 weeks old. Short- lived head. No real lacing. Opaque, the color of grapefruit juice. Not a lot of smell. Weird flavor profile reminiscent of orange Starburst candies and other chemically-derived artificial flavors. Not one of their better efforts, IMO. It very definitely fails to live up to the hype on the can :” booming, earth-shaking citrus essence”?

Packaged on August 30th, 2024 - enjoyed on September 14th, 2024 - poured from a pint can into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Murky golden peach liquid supports a lasting finger of papaya whip cream. Soapy soft peaks; sticky lacing; very good retention.
Potent candy-coated tropical fruit aroma suggests passion fruit, papaya, and mango. Some lime and berry and a hint of herbs further down.
Orange Julius, Push-up Pops, Tang, and Jolly Ranchers on the palate. Juicy but not excessively sweet. Crackery malt base with hints of vanilla wafers. Low to moderate bitterness throughout. Medium-dry finish with a faint white grape quality. Neutral yeast.
Chewy, medium body - somewhat tannic and fairly warming for the ABV. Not chalky.
Decent, potently aromatic hazy IPA, but comes across as artificial somehow.
