Hop Cloud, the first of our Hazy IPAs, starts with a classic malt riff of 2-row, oats, wheat, then we rain down furious gobs of late-addition hops. The result is an unfiltered pineapple, mango, and citrus hop-tacular, with almost no percieved bitterness. It’s a party for your senses-tongues and noses rejoice!

On tap at LEGOLAND. A nice find at the hotel and maybe the score is bumped up a bit for the fun trip with the kiddos. Solid tropical fruit on the aroma and flavor. Hazy yellow-orange with full, sustained white head. Overt Vermont yeast in the back half of the flavor.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours hazy gold with a transient white head. Aroma of grapefruit and arguably mango. Med body at least. Flavor has mango and guava with pale malt support - grapefruit finally shows as rind/fiber. Dry for a NEIPA; very fruity; nicely bitter. good stuff.

Pours a hazy golden colour and a white head. Aroma's are juicy and dank. Retronasal it's sweetish, dank and tropical fruit. Flavour is moderate bitter with light fruity sourness and light sweetness. Medium bodied. Long firm bitter finish.

355ml can, drank at mid-day on 31st Dec 2019 while sat in the sun; Laguna Hills, California. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass. Cloudy orange, off-white foaming head. Piney hop nose and taste, fairly bitter and dry, especially in the after taste.

From a can. Foggy light lemon yellow pour thin brief off white head. Light crisp citrus pith and floral somewhat grassy hops character. Not much to it. Didn’t love it

Pour is a murky hazy yellow with almost no head at all. Aroma is real hard to come by which does not bode well especially for this style. Some fruit I guess. Flavor is again almost nothing. I have never had such a bland version of this style. This is utter garbage. The canned on date is March 27, 2019 so it's not old. It seems the other raters like the draft version of this. The canned version is the weakest version of a hazy IPA I've had to date.

32oz crowler pours with a hazy but not totally opaque copper gold body that supports a full off white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe and guava rimmed thinly by a citrus note. The taste delivers a nice blend of mango, guava and bitter grapefruit. It becomes a bit grassy with modest bitterness to midway and ends with the addition of faint cracker maltiness. Wow. This comes together beautifully. Solid IPA.
