Haze Of Our Lives
Lake Time Brewery

 

 

Haze Of Our Lives pours a sortta hazy, sortta not, copper color, with a small, but long lasting head. Aroma is weaker, sweet, citrus notes. Flavor is bright, clean, fresh, citrus hoppy flavors, and a bit of a sweeter finish. Good body and feel. Overall, its a sweet IPA, not very hazy, but bright, and full of flavor.

Appearance: Pours a mostly opaque (60%), hazy, dark orange, or pale brown color with a soft white head. SRM of 10-11 (3.75)

Aroma: Strong aromas of citrus upfront. Orange, lemon, and tropical grapefruit. Then some pine on the end.

Flavor: Strong ornage citrus flavors. Sweet orange. Some moderate pine bitterness in the middle, but overall finishes with lots of orange citrus sweetness. A

Feel: Medium-bodied. Low to moderate carbonation. Leaves a pine bitterness, but also citrus sweetness on the end.

Compared to Three Floyd's Foggy Geezer IPA 5/19/21: Pours a darker color. More orange citrus, lemon citrus, and grapefruit. More pine. More citrus altogether. Less strawberry, peach, and tropical notes. Hazier and juicier.

Overall: A cliche name, but a pretty decent NEIPA. Showcases the Citra hop well. Nice orange, lemon, and grapefruit citrus flavors. Moderate pine bitterness, but overall finishes sweet. Not super soft and still has a respectable bitterness so I suppose that's what others are noticing when they say it sort of drinks like an AIPA. Still leans NEIPA though. Not great, but a pretty decent representation for a local brewery. (Final Rating: 3.70)

 

Poured from a can into a tulip.

Pours a very hazy, nearly cloudy light gold with a nice two-fingered head that endures well, giving well to nice lacing.

Aromas of mango, guava, passionfruit, papaya, ruby red grapefruit and faint pineapple. Strong and clear.

The brew starts on the tip of the tongue with strong malt presence. Honey/graham sweetness. It quickly gives way to tongue-tingling hoppy delight, particularly for the style. White grapefruit, white grape, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, and papaya melt with resin and grass. The finish is rather spicy and drying, with just a touch of leafy/weedy quality.

The brew is well carbonated and nearly crisp in its dryness. Well balanced and smooth.

This is a pretty darn good IPA that straddles the line between AIPA and NEIPA. Fairly sweet, overall, there are some deceptively strong dank and resin notes as well.

 

 

I loved this beer. However 2 of the 6 pack were unsealed and had to be dumped out. Seriously not a fan of that

Pours a beautiful cloudy murky golden straw color. Nose and the flavor go hand in hand. Grapefruit, citrus, papaya, and other tropical notes. Very hoppy for the 34 IPU. Sweet finish and creamy mouthfeel. Well done ne ipa.
