Firestone Walker Mind Haze IPA

Firestone Walker Mind Haze IPA. 6.2 % ABV. 40 IBU.
Firestone Walker Brewing, Paso Robles, CA.

It's all got to be hazed these days. Even the mind.

Heavily clouded. Bright golden. Slim white head.

In the nose: Slightly sweet, fruity, yeasty. Minor hops. Fairly muted and simplistic.

In the mouth: Tasty buzz of bitterness up front on the palate. Just enough juicy on it. Tasty turns to yum, even yum-a dum, dum. Especially smooth. Bitter buzz continues to ride the palate. This has got a little of both worlds, keeping me mighty pleased.

I like this one. And I wish I had another. Good hazy IPA and you can drink it.

From the coast of California comes Mind Haze, a free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions—juicy yet balanced, hazy yet lasting, and loaded with an imaginative array of tropical hop flavors.

In the words of Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, “Mind Haze offers the best of what you expect from a hazy IPA. But we’re going about it a little differently, and that’s what gives Mind Haze its own unique signature. We’re finally ready to do a hazy IPA the Firestone way.”
