Holy--! Wait, not just a double IPA, or a hazy IPA, or a DDH, but...are you fucking with me? No! OMG! The latest entrant in the race to be all the things that the modern beer geek just straight up adores.

It's all hazed up, with a bright golden tint, and voluminous ivory head. Looking good.

In the nose: There's that DDH aroma everyone digs. Kind of a soft, muted melange of citrus and pine, a fuzzy, hazy whirl of what we like.

In the mouth: Intense, hoppy bite from the start, a big burst of bitterness boarding the palate. Just a touch of sweet, and a little dance with the bitter. All is calm and mellow, and pretty much delicious. Tasty stuff. Juicy. Citrusy. Dry. Nice. This one's got it going on.

BREWED FOR THE RIGHT STUFF

In the immortal words of JFK: “We chose to make this hazy IPA not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” The good news is, it’s easy to drink. Brewed with El Dorado, Citra, and Simcoe hops for a juicy flavor that will send you straight to the moon.
