A statewide collaboration designed by 28 local, independent breweries across Maryland. Whirlpooled w/ Centennial & Mosaic; Double dry hopped w/ Sabro, Mosaic & Citra. This Hazy DIPA is a snapshot of this moment in the craft beer timeline. It captures the essence of what Maryland is doing with IPAs today. We hope to do this annually as a fun, communal project celebrating our neighbors, our state, and our industry.

Hazy and golden with a thinning white head, this beer looks decent. Tropical, citric and sweet, the nose on this beer is great. Sweet and tropical flavor with a light amount of bitterness on the end, this is quite tasty. Prickly and mildly sticky bitter with low carbonation and a medium feel. Good

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy straw color, fine, silky head. Musky, fruity aroma with a dank edge. Taste is a veritable fruit salad, so many flavors, overripe notes. And a hint of dank . Smooth and velvety, but leaves a tingle on the palate.

Cloudy dark orange appearance with about medium carbonation. Body feels also about medium.
Aroma is a nice mix ofmango,papaya, lime, and a mix of tropical fruit and peel. Some tropical sugary fruit juice.
Taste is similar to aroma with a bit of a sugary sweetness with a hop bitterness that shows up mid taste,builds,then lingers.
Overall a nicely done beer,might be too sweet for some but still good .

Delicious hazy juice bomb. Thick hazy orange/yellow appearance. Aroma is all sorts of tropical abundance. Taste has a juicy, fruity kick/zest. Slight bitterness and grassy aspect on the back end.

A: The beer is very hazy and slightly pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down and left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of coconut, gooseberries and lime are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional flavors of grapefruit (in the beginning) and cream (in the finish).
M: It feels medium-bodied, a little juicy and faintly crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found the contrasting flavors of grapefruit and cream in the taste to be unique and interesting; the smell and taste of coconut also added a nice touch.
Serving type: can
