Amazing Haze
Stigbergets Bryggeri

Copenhagen 23/3 2020. 33 cl can from Mikkeller Web-shop. Golden can with the name of the beer and brewery written in slanting, burgundy letters.

Pours hazy, slightly murky, orange with a smal white head. Fairly stable. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with light sweet odor of exotic fruit and a stronger smell of citric fruits. Sweet peach and orange. Strong grape fruit and citrus.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, smooth, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is intense and has a light sweetness followed by a strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a light sweet undercurrent. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Certainly an amazing NEIPA from the aggressive bitter and dry side of the street. Fruity and refreshing.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%. Murky orange colour, moderate to small white head. Strong aroma of tangerine, also notes of pine and spruce. Citric mouthfeel and flavour, notes of tangerine, oranges and pine needles. Bitter aftertaste.

From Mora. Hazy gold, dank candy on the nose, tastes like cantaloupe and assertive dank pine, feel is light, dry, little hop burn.

Pours beautiful hazy gold, really nice looking IPA. Strong citrus scent, possibly orange zest. Taste follows, balanced with subtle maltiness. Smooth and full mouth feel. Really rather good.

 

Had Amazing Haze in June 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden, poured from 33-cl. bottle, label stamped batch "640," and bäst före "171117" into small hand-blown tulip glass.

Another excellent Swedish-New England IPA, with deep color, decent head, and big citrus rind aroma, which delivers the gamut of citrus flavor over mild caramel malt, with a mildly drying finish.

 

 

Pours a hazy, golden amber, peach coloration with a large, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and citrus/tropical notes of grapefruit, tangerine, mango and papaya, with a light grassydankness as well. Taste is a great balance of biscuity malt, juicy tropical notes of mango and papaya and zesty citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine, with quite a good, grassy, herbal dankness coming through as well. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some citrus/tropical and dank notes lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This quite reminds me of their so-called "West Coast" Neipa, but is a little more subtely balanced and layered, with some nice, zesty citrus notes complementing the sweet, juicy tropical notes that dominate "West Coast", while maintaining that nice, grassy dankness that perhaps feels a bit moreherbal here. Definetely a great example of the style, especially considering the still relatively low ABV,

 

L - 1-finger offwhite head atop a translucent, juicy orange body.

S - oranges, grapefruit, herb.

T - citrus with pungent dankness. Earth, a little caramel. Low bitterness. Low sweetness. No booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - this is competitive with the NE IPA breweries. Very tasty!

Look: Hazy and dark golden. Head was decent.
Smell: When pouring the smell of papaya jumped out. Then, more tropical and stone fruits (mango, yellow peach), resin, a bit of citrus and fainter bready/biscuity stuff.
Taste: hops, whatever else? Fruity and resinous, as per the smell. Juicy as it gets. Malty tastes are rather faint, I'd say digestive biscuit but that's taking it a bit too far. A bit of booze but not even enough to be warming, just some volatile spirit-like notes. In any case, really good.
Feel: Very good. Just a tad more bodied than a West Coast IPA, even with the wheat malt, really smooth ending. Carbonation is medium to high.
Overall: Great New England IPA, nuff said.
