Hazy pale golden color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of grassy hop, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can. Hazy light gold. Fizzy white head, rapidly diminishing. Light aroma of toasted grain, lemon, citrus, onion. Lightly sweet start, light to moderately bitter finish. Anemic flavor, light body. Sourish. Disappointing.

$2 can from chalet, not expecting much for this tick. Pours clear pale yellow with a big white foaming head, how dare they call this hazy. All the haze must be laying on the bottom of the can like hefe er sumthin. A little can swirl does produce some haze but its still not a hazy NEIPA. Good sharp co2 on the uptake, I can appreciate that in an IPA. Taste is medium bitter with some hints of orange citrus hiding in the background. Less bitter than expected but hey, I had double imperial thick palate blasting IPA yesterday, anything would seem light when compared to that bastard. Does have a heavy IPA nose but the bitterness really doesn't seem to settle in till the middle of the session. Zonkers, its getting even more bitter building towards the finish. Ends like a typical IPA, one in a million, no big deal, they all practically taste the same.

Pour is more of a cloudy yellow than hazy. Aroma is orange peel with a little pineapple. Flavor is kind of disappointing very thin and almost watery with some minor pineapple showing up after the swallow. NIce try at a hazy pale ale but it did not work.

Can from Other Chris: pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus and hints of pineapple. Simple, sweet and lightly bitter. Almost two months old, but still tastes fresh.

Pours dirty yellow-orange-brown with an initially thick, puffy off-white head. Some small lumps of sediment. Aroma mostly tropical fruits (papaya, etc.) with some grassy notes. Medium-bodied, mostly tropical fruit with secondary zesty, grassy, spicy notes. Semi-dry finish. A solid sessionable hazy IPA at an attractive price.

Funky fresh pit sweat hop aromas. Slightly hazy, almost clear appearance with long lasting head. Flavor's a cross between IPA and hazy with low bitterness.
