Welcome to the evolution of style. When we set out to design Boomsauce years ago we knew we wanted a fruit forward, unfiltered and incredible IPA. However, this was a time before Hazy, New England IPAs has even entered the lexicon. As the sub category evolved so did expectations of what it meant to be a Hazy, Juicy IPA. So we decided to evolve Boomsauce along with the style. We kicked the ABV up a notch, adjusted the malt balances and hit it hard with our favorite hops. The results are an incredibly Juicy and Hazy derivative of Boomsauce that continues to define the category.

Ummm, if you call something "Hazy," shouldn't it be hazy? I'd like to taste it side-by-side with regular Boomsauce to see if there's much of a difference and which is better. Not impressed. Remind me not to try it again.

Pours a hazy, milky pale yellow-gold in color with a finger of white head. Aroma is a little sweet, tropical, and fruity. Taste is a melange of nectarine, peach, mango, and tangerine. It’s a little sweet but very smooth; full of tropical and stone fruits. Some chalky alkalinity in the finish but not overwhelming. Medium-light bodied with moderately low carbonation. Overall this is quite the tasty NEIPA. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with Lord Hobo in the past but this is a very good beer; it’s compares favorably to my still fond memories of Trillium after Canton first opened. This is by no means a top tier New England DIPA but for a shelf is this is damn good.

Pours a light translucent orange with a small head.
Light citrus and Hop aroma. Tart citrus taste. Light bitter finish. Medium light body and carbonization. One of the lighter imperial IPA's that I have tasted recently.

Fairly hazy muddy yellow pour with thin cap that fades to a ring. Aroma of citrus rind foremost a little unappealing. Not as noticeable in the flavor though, which has a really malty sweet dominance that I enjoy, with bright citrus and ripe fruit notes mingling. Tasty. Very smooth and pretty clean finish.

Probably me, but I don't get much in the aroma department other than a bit of graininess. Pours hazy yellow, similar to regular Boom Sauce, fluffy head is short lived. Excellent flavor, slightly dank hops with a solid malt backbone. A bit of tropical fruit but it stays in the background. IMHO, this is an excellent beer, not overly sweet and very tasty, a bit on the pricey side though. It's very similar to regular Boom Sauce but has a bit more depth to it. The 9.9% ABV is hidden quite well.
