Highway To Haze
Corridor Brewery & Provisions

 

Super hazy and juicy look. Looks tasty. A bit of fruit on the nose. Claims to have notes of passion fruit, peach, papaya, melon and mango, but i’m not really getting any of that, unfortunately. It’s pretty bland for a juicy IPA.

 

Enjoying a crowler less than a week old. This is another fantastic cloudy NEIPA from Corridor; I'm only in Chicago every month or two, but they've become a regular stop for me. The problem is that with that sort of gap between visits, all of these NEIPA offerings from them are starting to run together and become indistinguishable. They've dialed in the formula but keep permuting the hop varietals, and they all turn out excellent.

 

32oz crowler, filled on 2.3.18, poured into a Corridor "bicycle" pint glass.

The beer pours an incredibly turbid orange color, looks like a glass of orange juice with a foamy white head, about a finger tall that has good retention and yields an incredible amount of lace. The aroma is pleasant, very green, lots of grassy and weedy hops, pretty dank with some pine and tropical fruits, light citrus and lots of pale grain. The flavors are great, bitter pine, tangy grapefruit peel, lots of dank and weedy hops, super green and raw, light tropical fruits with pale grain and sweet yeast. The mouthfeel is good, thick medium body, coating and creamy with a nice dry finish.

Verdict: A great hazy IPA from Corridor. They are definitely knocking this style out of the park and this is no exception. Nice bitterness, lots of green dank hops, really hits the spot.

 

 

 

A soft, uniform white foam settles quickly to nothing, leaving a glass that looks like dark mango juice.

I'm getting spicy cologne and floral perfume with lemon, orange and papaya over a fluffy but dry body.

 

 

 

Crowler filled 8/20/17; drank that evening.

Opaque dull orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice white head; thick, frothy lace.

Tangy orange, cane sugar, mild dry grass & faint melon notes in the nose.

Soft, medium mouthfeel.

Melon, orange citrus & banana flavors up front; mild dry grass bite on the finish.

A bit muted, perhaps, but another winner from Corridor; the mouthfeel is perfect & the fruity/dry balance is well done. I wish this "popped" a bit more, but overall a very nice effort as usual.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a growler on August 20, 2017. Decent but I wanted there to be a little more bite from the hops and a tad more carbonation.

 

 

 

On draft at Corridor.

Bright orange completely cloudy appearance. Beautiful looking beer. Aromas and taste are pineapple, mango, tropical and juicy. Soft mouthfeel that's very easy to drink.

The Galaxy hops really shine in this one. One of the best NE/DDH IPAs in Chicagoland... definitely.
