    Is this not what SA was going to do? They wanted to get a juicy hazy IPA to mass market, don't recall it happening....

    It tastes like a 5% session WCIPA to my palate

    the Hefe yeast will give it a unique profile — most of the prototypes (and copycats) are using English strains which produce esters that combined w/citrus forward hops create the signature overripe tropical fruit character.

    I saw they got it out locally but never saw it go beyond that. A little ways back they talked about putting out a juicy IPA to sort of cash in to help their drop in sales. I never saw that pan out.
    I am not sure these mass beers will hold up to the quality of the good ones

    Yeah, I think this is the beer that will be nationally distributed.

    I just got back from my local retail beer distributor and they had stacks of the Sierra Nevada Hazy IPA:
    [​IMG]
    So I suppose that means there two of the bigger distributing breweries have jumped on the Cloudy IPA train.

    I had the SN Hazy Little Things on draft at the Mills River, NC taproom a month or so ago. I thought it was a nice beer. It was not a so called 'NE' style IPA to my palate - not a soft enough mouthfeel.

    I suppose one of these days I need to buy a 6-pack of the SN and New Belgium Hazy IPA beers. I wonder how well these mass distributed Cloudy IPAs will hold up from a beer stability perspective?

    Cheers!

    P.S. I picked up a 6-pack of Lagunitas Willettized Coffee Stout in case you were wondering.

    I will check out both beers for sure. I am curious if the lack of soft mouthfeel is going to be the standout for a lot of folks and cause some feedback on the beer. That is the one characteristic I really enjoy with a solid NEIPA, it has that distinct feel.

    Willettized is a great beer, I enjoyed them and have a few I want to sit on just to enjoy later in spring.

    I purchased it at Kunda (King of Prussia) but I read a post earlier today that it is at the King of Prussia Wegmans as well.

    Cheers!

    That side-by-side tasting would be an excellent discussion for a New Beer Sunday thread.

    Cheers!

    Even better, they want to trademark that witless cliche-on-arrival name.
