The third in our series of bold, next-generation Hazy IPAs, Polarity III bursts with notes of fresh-squeezed citrus and ripe apricot. This brew strikes a balance between zesty hop flavor from Wai-iti hops and a malty backbone. A clean, rounded bitterness is complemented by a smooth mouthfeel. Brewed to explode out of the glass.

Undated can (~6/1/26) drunk 7/26/26.
Soft stone fruit and mild citrus from hop with lots of easygoing, fruity esters from the yeast. Malts seem ample but not too sweet, with light white bread, cracker/biscuit gently balancing. Doesn't quite explode out of the glass, as intended, but it is approaching 2 months old, so I'll give it some leeway.
Very zesty (spicy herb and kumquat) and richly citrusy (tangerine, lemon rind oil) with a fluffy, supple, but well-attenuated, medium body. Honey and white bread keep things soft and gently sweet as waves of varied citrus, kumquat and apricot wash across the palate. The sweetness seems to build as the beer warms and breathes, and the bitterness is dangerously low. The zesty spiciness up front keeps it balanced initially, but the palate seems to bog down slightly as the glass wears on, especially on the finish.
