Sweetwater H.A.Z.Y. IPA.


 Sweetwater H.A.Z.Y. IPA. "Hazy/Juicy/Fresh/Double Dry Hopped"

6.2 % ABV, 45 IBU, Sweetwater Brewing, Atlanta, GA. U

Once more, I break my vow against the hazes. And why, because it was a sample. I never refuse a free beer. So, let's drink it, already. 

All clouded-out, bright golden color, slim, but staying white head. 

In the nose: Soft and fuzzy. Light hops. 

In the mouth: Sweet and juicy from the start. Tropical hop notes are in command, passionfruit, and mango, with citrus on the side, and a touch of pine in the back. Pinch of  grapefruit, dash of lime. Fresh and zesty, with just a little bit of bitterness, maybe even enough for me, that hard to please HopHead. 

Not a bad little hazy, I didn't mind it one bit. 

We endowed this straight up juice bomb with a double dry hop of Mosaic, Citra, El Dorado and Azacca for a blast of mango, stone fruit, lime and pine. It’s not a mirage, but a tasty refreshing oasis in your pursuit of haziness.
