Hop & Barrel Hudson Haze Hazy India Pale Ale

Hop & Barrel Hudson Haze Hazy India Pale Ale. 6.4 % ABV. 28 IBU. Hop & Barrel Brewing, Hudson, WI.

Clouded & hazed, dull orange appearance, large ivory head of foam on top.

In the nose: Highly hopped, bouncing with citrus and pine. Nice.

In the mouth: Hop bitterness smacks the palate from the start, tongue's getting spanked by bright, citrusy. Getting the yeasty flavor in there, too. Medium body, a touch of the juicy before turning good and dry.

Hey, this can't be a Hazy IPA, because I actually like it.

Haze Brah. Columbus, Galaxy, Vic Secret, Simcoe.
A beer made from the heart of Hudson, Wisconsin, for the palettes {sic} of trendsetters everywhere. Here's to you who know what's best for the rest of us. Centuries for trying to make the clearest beer possible and all of the sudden YOU people want to drink orange juice beer. Well...here you go. Drink up, Trendy McTrendFace.

I am so proud of them for putting that on their label.
