Probably my favorite from Real Ale. Nice and crisp, fruity with enough hops and a dry finish.

Poured from a can that I extra chilled in the freezer for a few. Nice foamy white head classic of the Hazy IPA, not bad in retention, lacing was 'ok' at best. Golden Yellow was the look soe carb bubbles seen on the inner walls of the glass.
Notice the high score on smell! It really smelled like I was peeling a ruby red grapefruit, then I remembered I was drinking a beer out of my glass mug instead.
Orange and grapefruit notes dominate—seems to be the trend on here, then there's a nice piney resin note to finish. A good solid West Coast IPA and drinkable at that—drink it slow it masks the abv good!. I could want more punches in there though of mango and lemon but it just didn't burst out that way.
Not bad, and this is a winner!

Hazy sunshine golden pour, steady tight knit foam cap. Nose is citrus and tropical.

Taste greets me with pineapple, mango, lemony sweetness, light kilned malt, oats(?), nibbling if papaya. Medium to light mouthfeel, leans creamy. Finish sees a bitter pith flex from the citrus, but nothing too drastic. ABV is buried, but does eventually surface. Careful out there, boys and girls!

 

Gosh, I had a few of this on a recent trip to Tejas. For a mass produced hazy ipa it hits all the right notes. Gently hopped, with some light papaya and pineapple notes. Soft landing with low bitterness. It’s a winner.

 

 

One of the best IPA’s I have ever tasted!
Very smooth, with just right amount of hops.
Not too bitter. Good piney notes.

Part of the real ale IPA sampler pack.

While it's definitely NEIPA, it could have some pale ale qualities too. Its Quite low ABV supports this notion. Easy to drink, crisp and plentiful carbonation make it pretty thirst quenching.

However don't panic, it's still an IPA, so there's no shortage of hops.

Overall I love the real ale IPA sampler and all the beers in it

This is a west coast Hazy. More piny and bitter than most current iterations of hazies which feature more tropical fruit. This is dank cloud juice which relies on flavors of earth, spruce, toasted wood, and tobacco. Confident and well structured. Like your moms chest.

 

 

Bought as a can from HEB in Lubbock. Enjoyed in Oklahoma, poured I to a pint glass.

Incredibly beautiful dark golden liquid with a very fluffy white head.

Very fluffy mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced, interesting hops, some notes of pineapple and blood orange, some faint floral notes.

I enjoyed this one.

 

 

 

Poured from a can. Caramel in color and hazy with a fluffy head and done lacing Smells of hops, pine and citrus. Flavor follows the smell, flavors come together pretty well. Solid

The pour was had a nice white head, about normal for a micro hazy IPA. Not much on the nose and not much on the taste. Maybe it did not have the power of the other hazy I just enjoyed, which left is largely mute. Like when you already have something sweet and try something else sweet. Not bad, just not much to write about either.
