Hazy Queen
Horizont Sörök

Szép opálos szín, trópusi gyümölcs illat. Nagyon szokatlan, de nagyon jó íz, ami harmóniában van a illattal. Nálam az egyik legjobb.

 

 

Poured from 330mL can into a tall kitchen glass. Best by 3/14/24 (!).

Appearance: medium yellow hue with plenty of haze and a thin finger of frothy ivory foam. Good color, although not much head retention.

Smell: piquant, pineapple-ey hops atop a softly sweet malt bed. There's definitely a good pineapple juice character here, although there's also a sharpness that I feel could be rounded off a bit.

Taste: dang, that is a tropical pineapple bomb indeed. This is all malt, hops, water, and yeast, and this is one fruity beverage! Bitterness is pretty low, and though that sharpness from the aroma persists, the rough edges are indeed rounded off here.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and creaminess. Nice.

Overall: I like this beer, and the juiciness is great, but there's just a bit of a sharp element that doesn't totally appeal to my palate. Still, great work.

 

I'm almost satisfied with this NEIPA: it looks amazingly hazy and smells like a pineapple cocktail. I am slightly taken aback by the taste because it kind of loses to the juiciness the look and the aroma implies/suggests that the beer will have... It is not zesty and not that fruity, if anything it is closer to a peach juice with a slight wateriness in the end. It depends what we expect from a NEIPA, but altogether I find it a good quality, B+ one.
