Bauhaus Lounge Wizard Juicy Pale Ale

Bauhaus Lounge Wizard Juicy Pale Ale. 5.2 % ABV. 40 IBU. 12 fl. oz. Bauhaus BrewLabs, Minneapolis, MN.

Highly hazed, bright golden, slim white head.

In the nose: Lightly hopped, citrusy, trickles of pine. Bright and lively. Orange and lemon.

In the mouth: Soft, easy, light. Oh, yeah. All the haze of the hazy IPA, and fewer hops. Hail, hail the hazy pale. Goes down smooth-malicious. Plenty of juice clean malt bill. Light bitterness. Medium-bodied, nice and dry in the end.

I'm liking this.

Lounge Wizard is a moderate strength pale ale with a hazy appearance, a juicy hop profile, and a pleasantly dry finish. The juiciness of this beer is entirely derived from the hops, which are added very late in the brewing process in order to maximize their flavor/aroma contribution while minimizing hop bitterness. The hops we use in Lounge Wizard express pungent tropical fruit and candied citrus.
