Overhaze
Marz Community Brewing

Such a refreshing 8% - crisp, tasty, makes you want more. A bit lighter than it should be. I want to mouthfeel the cream! Great strong session beer overall.

 

 

 

 

This is definitely not NE ipa.

 

The look was a cloudy orange with a nice white head. The smell was some strong fruit with peach and mango coming out with a little bit of lemon and pine. The taste similar to the smell. Mango orange and peach with some pine and a good bitterness. The mouthfeel was well carbonated. Good beer.

 

 

 

 

12 ounce can, undated. I believe this to be fresh. Poured into a tulip. Pours a pale orange, finger of off white head. Hazy but not Overhazy (wink). Some sticky lacing on the glass. Head dissipated quickly.
Nose of pineapple, sweet orange, tangerine and peach.
Tastes of orange, guava, rotting pineapple. Savory onion and sweat. In a good way of course. First time I’ve really got a meat quality from a beer.
Creamy, slick body and mouthfeel.
Good beer, the savory aspects are a little off putting but something that doesn’t detract from the beer. I’ll finish off my 4 pack and won’t revisit.

12oz can, undated but known to be fresh, poured into a 14oz brandy snifter.

The beer pours a very hazy and cloudy orange color, honey and apricot hues with a foamy white head, about two fingers tall that has good retention and yields excellent swatches of sticky lace. The aroma is nice, super juicy citrus and tropical fruits, lots of mango and valencia orange in this beer, lightly floral with a nice earthy green hop character, lightly resinous and bitter, mild pine and a sweet pale dough finish. The flavors are good, soft doughy pale grain and sweet yeast jump out before a nice juicy and tangy burst of hops cascades out of the glass. Lots of mango, bright orange juice with a nice counterbalance of bitter and earthy hops, raw hop leaf, sappy pine and grassy and dank hop lingers nicely. The mouthfeel is good, coating, smooth and velvety with just enough lively bubbles to prop the flavors up and a dry kick at the finish.

Verdict: A very nice NEIPA from Marz. Juicy, bright, refreshing but not without some needed bitterness and at 6.8% ABV, this is right in the NEIPA sweet spot where the flavors don't feel fusel nor too sweet. Well balanced and hits the spot.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a beautifully hazed yellow orange.

Pungent tropical and citrus fruit aromas.

Bright tropical and citrus fruit flavor.

Medium-bodied, low-medium carbonation, soft, smooth, juicy, crushable.

Overall, a highly delicious and extremely crushable brew!
