With cooler weather on the horizon, the Hop'Hazer transports you straight to an enchanting fantasy land with its juicy, citrus, and hop-forward characteristics. The use of innovative hops amplifies the flavor and brings light to the longest, darkest days of the year.
Spellbound by haze. The Hop’Hazer emerges from the winter realms with the perfect antidote: a magical Hazy IPA loaded with Citra Cryo, Citra Incognito®, and HBC 586 that yield electric notes of pineapple, tangerine, citrus, and gooseberry.
Malts: Pilsner, Flaked Oats
Hops: Mosaic, Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra Incognito®, HBC 586
IBUs: 40

slightly hazy, yellow color. Medium-sized, white head. Citrus and tropical fruits are in the aroma. A moderately sweet start with a decent, hoppy bitterness at the end.

Cloudy orange appearance with a medium size white head and scant lacing. Citrus infused aroma along with a bready malt underbelly. Soft fruit plays nicely with the citrussy hops. Not much bitterness while it finishes on a slightly metallic note. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel.

Poured this from a bottle.
A: Pours a hazy, straw yellow body with a small white head with minimal retention and lacing.
S: earthy, hop notes with sweet biscuity malt notes.
T: Similar to the taste, you have the strong, earthy hop notes immediately on the palette with hints of chamomile and lemongrass on the back of the palette. Biscuity notes appeared as the the session continued.
M: light bodied, crisp and refreshing.
O: nice combination of feel and taste; pretty solid beer overall.

Caveat to begin, poured from a keg that bore no indication of what beer inside it was. I sort of trust them, but that's not a good practice. It's a cloudy, manilla-envelope 'gold, I guess'. Thin creamy head, matches well. A nice lemony skunk hits your nose brilliantly. If you're thirsty, your first sip will be a nice, long one. Lemon-orange-mango fruity in a big, golden grain beer. Don't worry about the lingering bitterness after the swallow, just keep drinking. Not quite a spoonful of medicine in the lingerings, but a good reason to wash it away with another sip. Its nice creamy look is a bit deceiving, for those bubbly pin pricks that follow. You keep drinking it for the greatness of it going in.
P.S. (11-13-2022) Got very cloudy and a little thick near the bottom of the keg. Maybe the hops in the secondary fermentation is suspended, and slowly drops? Tastes like it. I left the rating unchanged, but...
