Originally brewed in 2018 our Head Brewer, Eric, always wanted to name a beer Chazwazza after that Simpson’s Australia episode. So, we surprised him when he was on holiday by naming this southern hemisphere inspired DIPA just that.

Chazwazza is brewed with barley, pale wheat and fluffy oats, we fermented with our house hazy yeast and then dry-hopped with the Southern-Hemisphere’s Enigma and Vic Secret. Chazwazza packs a white grape and pineapple punch, with rock melon and a hint of pine. Juicy and dangerously smooth, for all the hazy enthusiasts in the room.

Smells of sweet fresh orange juice and no alcohol noticeable. Has a milky dark yellow body with just a little foam. Flavour muddy sweet juice and vague hops. Mouthfeel is full, a hit of booze in the aftertaste. A nice big IPA though also pretty straightforward.

Taster at Alibi Room. Pours a cloudy dirty blonde with a white head. Aroma is very fruity. Taste is very smooth and quite sweet with some fruitiness in it. A bit dry aftertaste. Alcohol is really well hidden. Good one.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is heavy on the pithy, with some cheesy funk, malt and resinous hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with cheesy funk, pith, yeast and resinous hops. Yeast and chaotic. Not good.

Draught at the Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky blond colour. It's a bit chewy, but not too dirty; the hops are moderately juicy, but mostly citrusy, peely, and resiny, with a quite aggressive finish. The alcohol is noticeable, more than in most NE IIPAs.
Not too bad.

Draft - Mango and citrus. Murky Yellow with a decent white head. Citrus peel, touch of mango and a long finish. Solid and ABV is well hidden.

Poured from the tap (Alibi Room). Cloudy yellow with white head. Piney hops with citrus and hint of weed, mild yeast. Not usually impressed by S&O, but they’ve done a good job on this one.

This has a blonde colour, definitely cloudy but I don’t think they are aiming for “haze”. Big bright hop nose has weed, citrus and pith. Rich bitterness. Soft yeastiness. Really nice. Bright hops. Killer.
