Can. White head with lace. Hazy golden sunset orange.
This is hard to drink for a hazy. Too green. Hop powder. Way too much booze showing for 8%. Has the tropical fruit notes but behind all of this. Big miss from BS.

Look
Pours an opaque, orange-white in color, topped with a pale tan head. Very sticky lacing on the top end edges of the glass, very murky hop-muck collected at the bottom, near the stem.
Smell
As far as a dominant aromatic notes from the hops, I’m getting mango and orange, with lighter honeydew melon on the tale end. As for a secondary “house character” for BlackStack’s hazies, it would have to be citrus zest (more specifically grapefruit) and that is here as well. The balance is overall quite good and inviting for a beer of this style.
Taste
Bittersweet and smooooth, oaty, malty, citrusy, melon-y, and super juicy. Bitterness is a bit more pronounced than in so many others (as sweetness very often dominates) and I am a-okay with that. I can’t tell that this is an 8% beer, which makes it dangerously drinkable if we were to be in a taproom setting enjoying more than one. Sweetness kicks-in about a third of the way through the glass, and I am alright with that, because the bitterness is really multi-staged here, so the sweetness never overwhelms.
Feel
Excellent feel for what this is, and very, very good overall.
Overall
Incredibly drinkable and smooth, with excellent characteristics of hop bitterness and tropical fruit notes, all-around. And at “only” 8% ABV there’s no problem with having a couple pours in a row. But more than that and you might be in trouble!
