It’s not the same as a hazy IPA, and it’s not the same as a crisp & clear IPA. This unclear beer appears hazelike, but drinks more like a modern IPA. It’s a bit drier, with higher bitterness than a juicy hazebomb, and showcases notes of citrus, papaya, fresh cut grass, berry gummies, and white flowers. You might have enjoyed beers like this if you’ve visited a certain location in Texas, where they also dabble in these crossover areas within IPA brewing. Whatever you want to call it, this unfiltered style presents some of our favorite characteristics from across the IPA spectrum, using Kölsch yeast, and Simcoe, Galaxy, Citra, HBC630 Cryo, and Azacca hops.

This is described as an "Unfiltered IPA." Some haze on the yellow-amber brew and fine-grained foam in the Saxo glass. Lush and spritzy on the tongue. Somewhat acidic but not really in the "New England" realm. Highly fragrant with melon, citrus rind, and berries. Fairly dry with modest malty flavors. Tastes of lime peel, with a woody finish.

Rather bitter aftertaste. Hops are listed as Simcoe, Galaxy, Citra, HBC630 Cryo, and Azacca, and plenty of them. Interesting and intense but moe challenging than drinkable. From the 16 oz can purchased at the southland beer store. Not dated. A new brewery to me.
