Quite handsome for a hazy with long-lasting foam on the bubbling amber haze. Distinctly grapefruit aroma, but when you sip it, none of the pithy taste. Still, some bitterness but less than typical IPAs. Light and sudsy mouthfeel is quite pleasant. Fresh it is, with that resiny and aromatic sensation. From the 16 oz can purchased at Town & Country Market in Shoreline. Dated 09/07/23.

2023 can.
A hazy light orange with a dense, creamy off-white head with excellent retention and lacing. The nose has a light Strata character, fruity, bright and fresh but with a little grass. The palate has nice fresh Strata flavor but has a definite hop burn. Strangely watery too. Disappointing.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Hazy yellow pour, lasting one finger fluffy white head. Light citrusy aroma, grapefruit. Taste is citrus, zesty, bready, lingering bitterness.

16oz can, don't remember seeing this one in our market last fall so its fun to find a new one (to me) to try, pours moderately hazy straw gold with a foamy off-white head. More fruity than normal fresh-hop brews around us geographically, who all tend to lean into that grassy, lemon-earth-dankness hop profile, this one has a mildly sharp bite of fresh cut grass and then its smooth floral aromas and generical tropical fruitiness. Clean and smooth.

Cloudy golden yellow body, floral and leafy hop bite, a bit of citrus and grapefruit on a background of mild sugary caramel and ester that is typical of hazy IPA. The fresh hop character is solid, but not pronounced. Med body, good carb.

No doubt on the hazy side. Tropical fruit, floral aromas and fresh grapes. Thick head, nice lacing. Very clean and light taste for a New England IPA, still hop-forward and with a long finish.

Interesting fresh hop hazy, I can't pinpoint if they dry hopped with no fresh hops as well to accomplish the hop hit on this beer.
Good color and white head.
Piney and a bit diesel smell on the nose.
Puckers the lips on the finish.

32oz crowler served in a big snifter. Bought the crowler at Reuben's on the 30th.
Pours hazy whitish-amber with a medium sized head. Lots of creamy, fine carbonation. Smell is tropical juice and pith and maybe a tiny bit of grain underneath.
Taste is moderately fresh hoppy. It's got perhaps a bit more of a hop-forward bite than regular Hazealicious. Has more of a "green" or resinous flavor.
Mouthfeel is moderately thick, not oppressive. Overall, really solid beer.

This one was canned on 2021-09-14. I don't get any grain in the aroma, and I get more pine and resin. Taste is more aggressively hopped, very resinous. I'd give it a little higher score this year than I did last year, but not a transformation.

Canned on 2022-09-22. Bubblegum, pine resin, tons of citrus, and a little bit of pineapple. Taste leans into all of that quite a bit, gets a bit more pithy, and has a nice bitterness to finish it off. Very good.
