Hazy IPA
Big Sky Brewing Company

19.2 oz can pours a hazy golden yellow with average white head and some lacing. Aroma has mango, melon, and papaya. Taste ends up slightly bitter after all those fruity flavors. Body is light to medium with lively carbonation. An easy drinker. Pleasant

Pint on tap in Custer, SD at the Custer Wolf. Pretty standard hazy beer but delicious nonetheless. All the classic flavors. Smooth and easy drinking, not bad.

 

Pale yellow body, mostly clear; dense, lively carbonation; thick, frothy head, white and lasting; rocky appearance. Light malt backbone smell with hints of spice and citrus. Light, delicate flavor; subtle lemon-like hop flavor; moderate sense of bitterness at the finish. Medium-light body; crisp.

For a supposedly hazy India pale ale, this one is surprisingly clear. I like the nuanced aroma and the mouthfeel is fantastic, but the flavor comes across a tad weak. Still, this is an enjoyable experience if a little forgettable.

Pours a gold color with a very foamy head that lasts quite a while. Slight aroma of grapefuit and orange. Taste is tangy and slightly spicy with a grapefuit finish. Crisp and dry.

Can review only. Nothing special. Typical Hazy IPA. Regular taste, regular color.

 

 

 

 

 

so weird, in this day and age, for a brewery with great and iconic beer names, who names a beer hazy ipa, so lame, like what the heck happened to anyone with half a creative thought that worked here. fortunately the beer is (slightly) better than its packaging and lack of identity, but its just a beer, unremarkable, feels like they made this because they had to, so on trend they couldnt leave a few bucks on the table, but this is about as uninspired as it gets from the top down, despite the fact that i dont think these guys could really make a totally terrible beer if they tried. it is indeed hazy, but also rather light looking, more yellow than orange or anything, no signs of heavy grain either in terms of caramels or starch, looks good, fine head from the tall can. smells not super fresh, a bit metallic and slightly oxidized, but also nicely hopped, more modern than a lot of their other ipa types, citrus and orange candy and lemongrass notes, not overly robust and well enough balanced by the grain, but good, no doubt. the flavor is there too, lemon and lemon curd, and lemon thyme, minerals now more than metals which is nice, still a little copper thing to it, but good carbonation, medium body, low bitterness, fine balance, more malt character than i can smell, on the whole solid if unexciting. it a little bit feels like current craft has moved beyond what these guys are about, i know that sounds super critical, but beers like this do nothing to change that perception for me, somewhat of an afterthought, why not even give it a name? enjoyable enough when considered on its own, but in the context of all the great hazy beer out there, leaves something to be desired...

On draft. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, pineapple and toasted caramel. Nice tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
