So yummy

From a 16oz can. Date on can: 12/17/24

This is a murky orange colored beer. There's even a few chunks floating in the beer. There's a 2 finger white and frothy head to the beer and it has decent retention. There's a bit of lacing on the glass.
The aroma is a hop based nose, and it is very full of citrus. I get orange, grapefruit and pineapple in it. I am not getting any sweeter citrus notes like mango.
The taste is also very dominated by the hops. I am mostly getting pineapple juice here with a touch of grapefruit and orange. There's a bit of bitterness on the backside of this beer.
The body is somewhat juicy and soft. Not very sticky feeling. It does feel a bit light to my throat.
Overall this is a pretty damn tasty beer. It is good, though a bit light feeling.

 

 

 

On-tap at Red Tone (the S was missing out front). Fresh keg, too

Not very hazy. Smells skunky like weed and citrusy like orange. It's just dry and bitter enough to offset the juicy hop, the tasty taste that tastes good

Absolute favorite! Delicious, rich flavor with citrus notes.

Orange, lemon-lime, and white grapefruit

On draft at Pryes. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, grapefruit, orange peel and toasted bread. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange color with a bubbling body and a moderate white head. SRM of 8. (3.75)

Aroma: Strong aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, with a plastic-like sweet strawberry or slightly dank berry note on the end. (3.50)

Flavor: The flavor follows with citrus and tropical fruit upfront, before it quickly turns into a sweet and chemical-like strawberry and dank berry flavor. Somewhat green and asian fruit too. Finishes with a smooth malt sweetness. (3.50)

Feel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Sweet juicy and malts linger on the palate. (3.50)

Compared to Surly's Impossible Objects 7/2/21: Pours a darker and duller color. More sweet strawberry, tropical, green, asian fruit. More plastic-like flavors. Less orange, pineapple, and pine. Less of a malt body. Winnner: Impossible Objects

Overall: This one drinks with strong juicy flavors, but I also understand the chemical or plastic-like flavors that other shave described. It definitely has some of that here. Not as much Orange Juice as others have described. Also it's clear and not hazy. What is up with that? I do get some. It's an okay IPA, but it's not a hazy, NEIPA, dry-hopped IPA of the sort. It's a weird and chemical IPA.

Pours a clear light lemon juice color with no head or lacing. Smell was orange juice and was artificial on the nose. Taste was light orange gatorade tasting. This was a drain pour from the start , one of the worst beer I’ve had in years.

 

 

Mass Haze-teria Hazy IPA. 6.7 % ABV. 45 IBU. Pryes Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

More Haze! It's the craze! For days! Etcetera!

High cloud-ification, dull orange color, full-on ivory head.

In the nose: Juicy, citrusy, sweet. Grapefruit, tangerine, mango.

In the mouth: Starts out bitter, then dry. Bitterness softens some, sweet tropical notes trade with citrus and pine. Juicy, sweet, dry, and bitter, all together. Medium bodied, refreshing and pretty damned tasty.

Hey, you know what? For one of those new-fangled "Hazy IPAs", this is a good beer, and you can drink it!

I tried this at the brewery whilst in town for a work conference. The beer poured a hazy orangish and had white head that left a nice lacing. The scent had citrus fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with citrus fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.
