Brewed for the now postponed Brewer’s Ball to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, our new hazy IPA is a real crowd pleaser! Brewed with Lemondrop, Amarillo and El Dorado hops, this hazy juice bomb features flavors of candied orange and lemon peel, mango and apricot with some pepper and spice in the finish.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Fairly dark for an IPA, hits an almost hazy amber deep orange mixing with light chestnut brown colors, and a sense of almost dark NEIPA like hazy character. Classic thick not too bright white head at three fingers as well, with good retention also.
Aroma is quite nice though. Soft chewy sensing hop varietal of herbs exotic tropical fruit like sensations. Maybe a touch of tangerine zesty character with a hint of caramel sweetness to match nicely, and possibly some earthy quality too.
Interesting palate. Flavors hit a good pronounced bitterness, of more citrus orange on first sip. Good sharp spicy hop finish, with real controlled bitterness giving to almost wintergreen heat and mint like flavors as well. Soft sensing caramel slightly, if the hop angle wasn't so bitter it might be a little more pronounced. Mid palate gets a little fruity, but the hop angle goes for a spicy herbal and minty blast more than anything.
Very different take on a somewhat NEIPA, probably not going to be a NEIPA fans ideal beer, but with a distinct and bitter presence this is a hoppy IPA brew I can easily have again and enjoy.

Hazy amber, thin white head without much retention, but nice rings of lace.
Pineapple, passionfruit, and tangerine hop aromas.
Less fruit on the palate, a lot more floral. A nice bitterness. However, the bitterness and floral character make it seem a little soapy.
A little flabby, could use a little more carbonation
Decent enough try

Pale amber color, muddy as heck. Pours a modest white head, creamy and with decent retention.
Has a fruity, sweet aroma. Pineapple.
Hop flavors are a bit more harsh than the aroma hinted at after a pleasant, slightly sweet start. Strikes me as a bit medicinal tasting, particularly in the finish. Has decent hop bitterness for such a beer, but finishes pretty intensely dry.
Medium body and carbonation, a bit of hop astringency. Slightly warming.
I'm not the biggest fan of hazy IPAs, but even so this one struck me as drinking pretty harshly.
