Cosmic Burst
Hailstorm Brewing Co.

I believe I got a can of this beer from my Daughter's UW-La Crosse gymnastics teammate's father. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with Juicy Fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

 

 

Been a Halestorm fan for a while but some of these one-off hazies aren't holding up very well. Hops used really don't work well together and the malt seems to be over taking everything at this . I really enjoyed the Cloud series and wish they would spend more time Brewing them because I won't be buying any more of their other hazies.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on May 8, 2019. Double dry-hopped hazy Double IPA with Lotus, Moutere and Galaxy hops. Unique hop flavor.

Had on tap. Very opaque hazy yellow body. I don't understand the criticism of this one by my compatriots at the bar. Too bitter they say. It's an ipa.... I want bitterness! I thought this was the best of the bunch at the hazy tap takeover that day, because of the hops. Smell is full of them, with grapefruit, orange, lemon, pineapple, and pine. Taste was very hop bitter, with the pine and hop spice really coming out of the hazy citrus depths by the finish. Body is smooth and chewy simultaneously, little booziness peaks through which detracts a tad. Overall thought it was great
