Haze Wizard
3 Nations Brewing Co.

 

 

Milky dark yellow pour, finger plus of frothy white foam with lace. Nose shares soft tropical.

Taste brings pineapple, papaya, citrus, pine resin, light kilned malt. Mouthfeel is medium. Finish is dank citrus.

A tamped down, but altogether well-done, Texas Hazy IPA. Muted orange and grapefruit on the smell. Thin mouthfeel with creaminess…a really interesting dichotomy going on with this one. Lemon and grass and faint white pepper. A sleeper beer here in DFW!

 

 

This was a truly enjoyable drinking experience. It poured an opaque orangey color and smelled of orange, mango, and a hint of grapefruit. Went down smooth and refreshing---everything a hazy IPA should be. What a great beer!

I would definitely purchase this again.

Excellent IPA; just the right amount of bitterness. Smooth finish. Will get this one again!

 

 

pours a rustic hazy dark orange gold body with a billowing rocky white frothy foam head with high retention that leaves several patches of sudsy lacing behind as it settles to a rocky halo

aroma is a huge bouquet of earthy mango and pine with a dash of pineapple and a malty caramel backbone

taste follows the nose with a big hop hit up front, big juicy fruit in the middle, and a malty backer.

mouthfeel is mid-level carbonation and medium body that runs pillowy and a little pithy and grainy before finishing slightly dry and grapefruit bittersweet

overall:
it's juicy, it's hoppy, it runs pretty easy. if you're a NEIPA fan or dig on the mango/pine combo, don't miss it

 

 

Pours the classic vibrant orange-yellow, almost like orange juice in appearance with a thick white head which leaves some lacing. Smell immediately has pine resin, mango and some additional aromas of tropical fruit. Tastes like it smells; light touch of hop bite at the very beginning, juicy tropical fruit and malt with some pine. Very mild bitterness at the very end. Not a whole lot of lingering flavor on the back end as it's gone but that's not the worst thing.

Medium body with moderate carbonation and overall a very drinkable version of the style. It's dangerous how easy these are to drink with that 7.5% ABV hanging around.

 

Very easy to swallow this being an "east coast" IPA. Smelled great, with a balanced, easy to like taste. Hoppy with bit of festive was the forecast. Good call.

Poured from a can (no date I could find/ not sure what volume Haze Wizard) into a pint glass

L: creamy yellow pour to dark orange juice in the glass, small white head that’s stuck around for a couple minutes. Leaving some good outer bubbles

S: rich mango candy, bubblegum and gummy bears/rings. Very tropical, sweet, that sugar nose from cotton candy. Get some danker notes as well, overripe tropical aroma

T: more restrained but still quite tropical flavor, with a nice bit of malt and earthy hop balance. Fruit-toward start, to a more malty/hoppy middle, ending with a slight bitterness I like. Overall the flavor is pretty quick, from start to medium-long finish. Would have liked it to last more, very drinkable, not as sweet as I expected from the nose

F: medium NEIPA body, medium carbonation, slightly drying, pretty smooth and bit creamy as it’s warmed

O: a very good beer, especially as a surprise extra. Nose is great, flavor is solid but ends quickly. Very drinkable, especially at 7.5%
