Willie Maize Haze
7 Seas Brewing - Tacoma Taproom & Brewery

Six pack of cans picked up at the Shell station down the street in Kenmore, Washington.
Poured in to a pint glass.

Look- Pretty hazy medium amber color, nice off-white head with great retention and a good amount of lacing. Active carbonation streaming as it sits.

Smell- Citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit and lemon), stone fruit (peach/nectarine and a hint of cherry), mango, light berry, grainy malt, a bit of pine and herbal notes.

Taste- Follows the nose fairly well, citrus fruits and stone fruits, a bit of mango, grainy malt and the pine is much more assertive than in the aroma.

Feel- Medium bodied, crisp with a light bitter finish, pretty nicely balanced. Moderate carbonation on the tongue.

O- A decent attempt at a NE hazy, but it's too clear. Probably my favorite offering from 7 Seas so far though. A repurchase in the future.

12oz can purchased at Nectar-Kendall Yards, Spokane, Washington, for $1.99. According to the stamp on the bottom of the can, this was canned on July 29, 2019.

Good looking beer. Truly hazy, rather than a solid juice color, this was a golden tangerine like color, with a big, creamy, bone-white head, leaving lots of lace on the sides of a shaker pint glass.

Nice hop aroma reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruits.


Citrusy, pineapple-y and melon-y flavor up front, but not to an overbearing degree. Gets a little more bitter towards the finish but for the most part, it's a pretty easygoing, fruit-forward hazy. Mildly dry finish.

Medium bodied, with a soft, slightly oily mouthfeel.

A nice, very drinkable hazy. It's not a super juicy flavor bomb like some hazies, and it's not going to do too much for a hardcore fan of the West Coast IPA, but it's very well-balanced. Really digging this baseball-themed beer while watching college football on a wet blustery day complete with unseasonably early snow flurries.
