IV Hazy Pale Ale
The Brewing Projekt

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on January 30, 2019. A collaboration with New Belgium’s Wisconsin based employee owners. Hazy, fruity and thick.

 

Pours hazy Orange. Foamy, medium, White head that last a while with lacing.

Smells Citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, doughy and mango.

Taste grapefruit, citrus peel, mango, pineapple, light fruit and a hint of peach. Finishes dry with a citrus peel and light Pine linger. Medium body and creamy and slightly picky medium carbonation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy golden yellow color with streaking white lacing. Taste and smell are topical with citrus and papaya notes very floral and juicy. Mouth feel is soft with minimal bitterness. A well don NE Style Pale Ale.

Rediculously good NE style pale. Thick, juicy. Super crushable. Every thing on r would want in this style. This brewery is crushing it!
Seek this one out.

Poured a opaque off muddy yellow. No sediment or floaties. Picked up aromas of cotton candy, citrus, and some mangos. Just like many other hazy pale ales/IPAs, the aroma is a little muted. The flavors is actually quite surprising for a 5% ABV! Full on earthy hops with notes of citrus and pineapple. It starts of juicy and lush but then finishes bitter. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied. Overall, this compares to the top of the line PseudoSue variants. It has the similar qualities of appearance, smell, and taste. And FINALLY we have a Wisconsin brewery dishing out world-class pale ales and IPAs!

Poured 16oz can into snifter. Very hazy pale yellow color that looks like it could be pure OJ. Brilliant white 2 finger head that fades very slowly and leaves a thin collar and webbed lacing on the glass. The aroma is bursting with juicy tropical and ripe citrus notes and a touch of sweetness. Flavor is also very juicy with plenty of pineapple, guava, papaya, tangerine and sweet grapefruit. A bit of sweet malt, but it still has a bitter finish. Feel is medium with softer carbonation and a light dry finish. This was sensational and is right up there with the best NEIPAs coming out of WI.

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, so this is so in line with what a NE IPA should be that you wouldn't expect this to be in collaboration with New Belgium.

To say I'm impressed with the haze, the smell (just the right amount of bright, if you will), the taste (just like with the smell), and mouthfeel (slightly thicker, not obnoxiously so) is underselling this.

Methinks I need to track more of this down, and fast.
