Nice N'Hazy
Brasserie Artisanale Lagabière - Broue Pub

 

Look: Very pale clear yellow, with a finger of shiny white tightly bubbled head. The head pulls back over a few minutes leaving a slight touch of lace, and a slight cover across the top.

Smell: Sweet with ripe peaches and stone fruit.

Taste: Random muted citrus and floral flavours on the front end, hints of stone fruit and green apple. Mid sip a chalky, white cracker malt taste asserts itself, and a crisp pinot grigio like finish rounds out the backend.

Feel: Light and crisp, but with a slight oily tang at the end. Plays sharp on the roof of the palate, but doesn't do much for the mid and back of the tongue.

This beer is billed as a New England pale ale. I was expecting a NEIPA, but should have read the can more carefully. Far less hazy and juicy then expected.....but it is a pale ale, so caveat emptor. This is a white wine drinkers beer. Sharing lots of taste and feel characteristics with a pinot grigio. Not my cup of tea, but maybe yours. I give it a B-

A-Opaque yellow with a spotted white head floating on top
S-Nice fragrant berries and citrus fruit
M-Mouthfeel is light and peppery. Dry finish
T-Sweet upfront with a subtle bitterness
O-Decent brew, but not a NEIPA, lacking juicy mouthfeel, and proper haze.
