Haze Charmer emerges from a soft, swirling cloud of oats and unmalted wheat. Vigorous dry-hopping adds a second phase of haze, propping up the oils of El Dorado and Citra hops. Each sip delivers notes of juicy pineapple, fresh grapefruit and candied peach balanced by a hint of white pine and low bitterness. A soft, juicy and hazy pale ale, Haze Charmer is here to cast its spell on you. We taste: juicy pineapple, fresh grapefruit, candied peach, hint of white pine.

On draught, 20 oz beer glass.
Golden straw color, hazy brew with a thick creamy head that leaves abundant lacing.
Smell is of tropical citrus fruit, orange and pineapple dominate.
The flavor is somewhat sweet, malty and citrusy, with peach, melon, pineapple and some pine notes. The hops bitterness is enjoyable.
There is a very slight carbonation bite on the finish, as the sweetness transitions to tang/bitterness.
A very good pale ale, nice and smooth.

Bottle into pint glass. Pours a hazy medium gold with a persistent off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is orange, pineapple, and a slight pine bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft. Finish fades to citrus and a bit of piney bitterness. Quite enjoyable but not memorable.

Haze Charmer pours a hazy, copper color with a large, long-lasting head. The aroma has hints of lemon. The flavor is a little sweeter, citrus fruit notes. Good feel. Overall, it is a very smooth, lemon-like hazy IPA.

Somewhat hazy orange color with a thick head leaving laces.
Aroma with predominant notes of pineapple, peaches and mint.
Flavor with notes of pine, pineapple, peaches, white bread and candied sugar. Dry aftertaste with a medium bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
NE Pale Ale with impressive notes of fresh pineapple that I couldn't believe that no fruits were added.

Hazy very light carbonation. Aroma is mostly pineapple.
Relatively low ABV 5.5 for a IPA make this a good session
Beer on a hot summer day. Excellent head retention and
Lacing. Refreshing, gonna be my summer IPA!

Best by 040123. Poured into a BA 25th Ann teku — hell yeah!!
A: Hazy lemonade yellow with two dash finger, frothy, white head with good retention and thick craggy lacing.
S: Aroma is cotton candy, bubble gum, and candied peach and pineapple. Esters are medium-high.
T: Flavor has an enjoyable, herbal character in the mid-palate, which is a welcome contrast to the super sweet candy, fruit and cotton candy flavor. With warming, more peach, and pineapple sneak in, the flavor is very sweet and heavy on the ester component. Low bitterness and no obvious alcohol noted.
M: Creamy with medium body and low carbonation.
O: I was pleasantly surprised by Troegs Haze Charmer - it is a very flavorful and aromatic session hazy IPA. I am surprised that this beer has not done better given the great feel despite the lower ABV.
