Hazy Panic
Track 7 Brewing Co.

Flavor is smoother than the regular Panic. It also feels like a completely different beer. The big let down is the low ABV. I also miss some of the bitterness from the original. The improvement is the lack of boozyness. Great beer but def different than the original.

 

Canned 12/26/18, consumed 1/16/19

Poured hazy, low cloudy light orange color with a big inch+ head, decent rentention, and tons of thick lacing.

Aroma is a good blend of various citrus fruits and lesser weedy/piney hop notes.

Taste is mostly all fruit, grapefruit dominant with other citrus fruits and some pith & peel notes.

Feel is medium, smooth, a bit of bitterness, good carbonation and clean finish.

Overall, a good hazy from Track 7.

More of a WC and NE hybrid, not a one dimensional sweet juicy mess. Lots of grapefruit, some bitterness, plenty if acidity. Mouthfeel is full, but not fluffy or creamy, tongue tingles from the acidity. I liked it, wouldn't seek it out but would happily have again.

Canned 12/26/18

Appearance - Pours hazy and orange in color with an off-white, finger width head. Decent retention before dying down to a thin, broken layer of suds. Nice lacing, with mottled patches making up most of it.

Smell - Juicy, citrusy aroma of orange and grapefruit. Lesser passionfruit. Mild breadiness sitting beneath that.

Taste - Tons of citrus goodness with orange and grapefruit notes upfront and throughout, but also a touch of mango and passionfruit. Nice bready malt backbone adds a nice touch while letting the hops do most of the work. Finishes nicely with a hint of grapefruit pith being outshined by a growing passionfruit tartness before fading in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with nice, tingly carbonation. Slick, easy drinker before a mostly dry finish.

Overall - About what you'd expect as a hazy version of Panic. Lots of citrus juiciness, with a nice hint of tropical flavor in there.

A good drinkable hazy version of Panic IPA. It has a good nose...citrus, hoppy...with a hazy appearance...Good thru the swallow until I reached the end. The finish is a bit thin and I think the heavy grapefruit notes went a bit overboard. This was more of a grapefruit version of Panic than it was an "hazy" one. I was expecting more juicy, tropical notes.

Pours a murky dirty yellow with foamy white head leaving substantial lacing. Nose is big citrus, grapefruit and such. Taste follows with a faint hop bite. Finish is really smooth, slightly citric.
