Mules, known long ago as “Hayburners”, were the workhorses behind the operation of the Erie Canal.

Hayburner is a bold and citrusy IPA with primary notes of orange, melon and grapefruit, and a slightly earthy finish. It packs a firm bitterness but remains balanced by abundant late hop additions and a soft and airy malt base.

12 ounce can. Hazy orange gold color. Pillowy white head. Spotty lacing. Floral hop aroma hints at citrus and pineapple. Sharp, bittersweet citrus flavors. Notes of grapefruit, orange and key limes. A bit of pine on the backend. Smooth and flavorful. Nicely done.

Pours murky orange gold. Heavy hop of floral, citrus, touch or resin on a hay malt. Fairly balance, but delivers some hop burn on the finish.

Can from Wegmans. Hazy golden pour with medium tight, creamy head. Light citrusy aroma, taste too is very citrus , oranges. Juicy, but not quite NE style. Light, and smooth, mildly sweet, citrus flavors linger.
