Big Wing Haze IPA
Stony Creek Brewery

16oz can from Half Time. Dark, Hazy golden pour, thin off-white foamy head. Not much to the aroma, faint malty notes. Taste is fruity, but kind of non-descript, citrus - tropical punch. Finishes way too quick.

 

 

8/29/21...pours orange filled copper with fast fizzing foam. Flavorful fruity nose. Notes of oranges and tangerines. Quick punchy juicy bitter. Wrapped in citrus. Bitter burns off to find an empty base. Nice.

 

 

From a 16 fl. oz. can dated 01/17/21. Sampled Feb 26, 2021.

Mostly opaque looking olive-yellow appearance underneath a modest, slowly fading off-white head.

Juice galore greets the nose. More specifically orange, nectarine, papaya, and guava. Some under current of cereal grain. Also an odd sort of olive oil sensation.

Medium mouthfeel going on heavy.

The taste starts sweet and then bursts into a fruit and juice filled experience. Kind of an herbal ending.

 

Poured from a pint can into a fluted glass. Deep off-white head, with excellent lacing. Opaque body is burnt orange in color. Some citrusy fruit on the nose. The first sip has a bit of the grapefruit taste quickly replaced by hops bitterness, some alcohol burn from the 9.3% abv. Decent mouthfeel. I have had better from Stony Creek.

Pours a hazy amber-orange color. Aroma is off putting - reminds me of a rotting apple. There's no freshness date on the can so I can't tell how old it is. The rotting apple follows through in the taste as well, it has a sort of chemical flavor I can't place. Despite wanting to like this beer, I ended up drain pouring 3 out of the 4 cans. It's just not pleasant to drink, there's much better out there.

Purchased at West Hartford Harvey's Cafe & Market (Previously Harvest Country Store) Same grinder/sandwich shop menu and plenty of beers to choose from inside while waiting for my delicious dinner. Not certain if they are still related to Harvest, I think not since the staff has changed. Definitely a potent, hazy IPA and when poured from 16 oz can to a pint glass, there were some particles floating down to the bottom of the glass. As usual, WillieThreebiers found this one before me. I have no affiliation to the store, it is just a convenient place to grab dinner and something wonderful to drink with the meal. I would certainly purchase this again. I may have to visit Stony Creek Brewery soon.
