Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Hazy Little Thing IPA. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Chico, CA, & somewhere in North Carolina. "Family owned, operated, and argued over." Alc. 6.7% by Vol.
It's bright golden, and, yeah, it's all hazy, bro. Big. beautiful ivory toned head atop.
In the nose: Cool and calm fruity hop notes. Orange and lemon, tangerine. Nice.
In the mouth: Light on hop bitterness here, higher on the fruity factor. Very smooth, clean, delectable. Hop bitterness peeks in a bit, to be sure, just a touch. It's smooth and mellow, the malt is light and crisp and slightly sweet. Good hazy IPA and you can drink it.
It's a nice one, sure, but I still prefer a real IPA. An IPA's IPA.
As brewers, we get the privilege to sample our beers straight from the tanks in all their raw glory. Some beers need a little polishing to get ready to go out into the world, while others—the hop-heavy, rowdy, crowd-pleasers—should just be left alone. We wanted to share this brewery-only treat with you, so we present this Hazy Little Thing, our unfiltered, unprocessed IPA, straight from the tanks and into the can.
I know that everyone will associate the name "Hazy Little Thing" with "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen, but let's think about another crazy little thing. It's time to start thinking about Captain Beefheart. I've been saying it for years. And the present is as good a time to say it as any.
