We're going a bit blurry on this nebulous release... Hazy Memory is a cloudy IPA full of oats and smooth wheatly-esque-ish-ness, packed with some of the murkiest, juiciest, turbid Loral 291, Hallertau Blanc,Galaxy, and Citra hops. It's a huge flavor you won't forget!

Nice Aromas of citrus hops, straw, dry grain and a hint of Funk. Flavors get more interesting with the citrus upfront with some sweetness developing going caramel but balanced just right with a hint of bitter. Great body carbonation and finish. Can really drink this beer.

12 ounce can, 11/23/19. Hazy and near murky orange, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of earth, potato, lime, pale malt. Maybe some tropical fruit vibes. Taste is melon, passionfruit, lime, pale bready malt. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness. Decent.

Good, if a bit unremarkable amid the current NEIPA glut. Bitter for the style, which is nice, but lacking a distinguishing juicy burst, instead offering a laid-back presentation of berry, melon, and tropical hop notes on top of a grapefruit-pine finish accented with white pepper and earth. Never stumbles into the pitfalls of the style--no vegetal funkiness, no hop burn--but doesn't command your attention, either. Competent, I guess.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/3/2019. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a fantastic hazy IPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp to drink for the ABV, with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Fantastic Loral, Hallertau Blanc, Galaxy, and Citra profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great clean wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example as expected.
