Lazy D'haze IPA
Powell Street Craft Brewery

Pours golden with a tinge of orange. A 1 finger creamy light brown head that dissipates quickly.

Aroma of grapefruit, malt, sweetness and some bready notes.

Taste if grapefruit, malt, bread, caramel and some other citrus in the background.

Mouthfeel is somewhat flat.

Overall, a decent beer that is worth a try.

Decent hazy. Burn and taste like it was. A bit of coconut on finish.

Hazy light gold with a strong head. Fresh citrus hop nose. Medium malt body, great freshness, smooth mouthfeel.

On tap at the Biercraft Wesrbrook in Vancouver.
Pours with a hazy amber-orange body and a superb, creamy, durable white head.
The aroma is complex citrus.
The flavor is very good, with citrus highlights then increasing bready malts and hop bitterness.

On tap at Hook Seabar (Vancouver, BC), served in a shaker pint glass. Hazy golden yellow with a bubbly head of white foam. Juicy hops leaning towards citrus, with hints of stone and tropical fruit, and pine needles rounding out the mix. Pale malt fills in some body, and the close is crisp with herbal bitterness. Medium body with soft but refreshing carbonation. A nice juicy IPA with nice notes of pine and citrus.

This is a nice west coast take on an east coast IPA. It is hazy with good lacing and the smell is fruity and tropical. Flavor follows the smell, but there is a nice piney aspect that comes on. Feel is nice, medium bodied with good carbonation. Finish is dry and bitter with some lingering citrus and pine.

I enjoyed this, first time trying this brewer, and I'm pretty impressed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

650ml bottle - wow, this Vermont, et al IPA haze craze is really taking off, it would seem. A forced, but still enjoyable punny name here.

This beer pours a crystal clear (?!!!), medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some random island chain lace around the glass as things quickly progress.

It smells of muddled stone fruit, bready and doughy caramel malt, some blood orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, further indistinct melon notes, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and some zingy leafy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, an equal to the task caramel sweetness, mixed tropical fruit esters, juicy domestic citrus flesh, and more leafy, musty, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite laid-back in its timid-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess wending its way in once it warms up a tad out of the ol' beer fridge. It finishes well off-dry, that robust fruitiness really carrying the lingering day.

Overall, this is a very flavourful and engaging version of the so-called style, however, I believe that the 'Lazy' outweighed the 'D'haze' when it came to packaging this one - no sediment, no haze, no nothing. A great IPA, just not the kind that should be sporting such a name.

 

All around a really good IPA. But East Coast?

Definitely unfiltered, but not really hazy. Copper bronze, pours a nice head, some retention and lace.

Aroma is tangerine, nectarine, mango, with a subtle and strange bit of licorice.

Sponge toffee sweetness yeilds to an assertive (but not overbearing) bitterness. I like this balance in an IPA. Flavours of nectarine, dried mango and papaya, light melon and a hint of piny resin. There is a subtle herbal, almost licorice like flavour.

Moderate body has a slight hop acidity with a crisp finish.

Misnamed and unfortunately underrated.
