The day the world stood still and Elysian brewed a hazy IPA. Rules were broken to bring you contact haze, a tangled chemistry of mild haze, low bitterness, and an explosion of hop aroma. Bursts of bright raspberry, currant, citrus, guava, and passion fruit, with a slight floral note.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours light bright hazy gold with a transient white head. Aroma is citrus with a touch of berry. Medium body. Juicy and lightly sweet. Not quite enough bitterness for balance. Flavor seems citrus, green guava, and perhaps passionfruit. Decent.

Draft pour pint at the Elysian Bar, SeaTac. Somehow avoided rating this over the last while, though not surprised, I had enough time to search around for new rates while waiting for a flight. Pours a clear pale gold. So clear I wish I could tag this hazy rating with a photo. Looks like the big name, same name, light pale lager next to it in the tap handles. Thin head. Modest, near absent aroma of soft grains and juicy fruit. Flavor is light as well, with a cool constant, slight citrus with no bite on the end. Bland IPA for me, though has a few decent qualities. Some melon linger. Alright.

On tap at SF Giants park. The families first MLB game since 2019 so this rating probably gets a few bonus points!
