Brewed with a diverse mix of hop varieties, Hazed & Infused blends a piney, earthy, floral nose, with added fruitiness in flavor from the Simcoe. Although big hop aroma and flavor hit you up front, a relatively small early hop addition keeps the bitterness very low, making this hazy, deep golden-colored brew one of a kind.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 9/27/2012. Pours lightly hazy golden orange color with a nice 2 finger dense light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, mango, pine, herbal, caramel, toast, and light earth. Very nice aromas with nice balance and complexity. Taste of grapefruit, orange zest, herbal, floral, pine, mango, caramel, toast, grass, and light earth. Fair amount of herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, herbal, floral, toast, grass, caramel, and light earth on the finish for a bit. Great hop flavor balance and complexity; with a good malt backbone. No cloying flavors at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice pale ale. Great hop flavor profile and flavor balance; and very smooth to drink as expected of 4.85%. No complaints here, very enjoyable stuff.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a deep amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus hops. Taste is about the same. Lightly bitter. Medium bodied with a decently thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, I would gladly drink this again.

Hazy orange-amber color, small off-white head. Lemony hoppy nose with sweetish apricot notes. Light bodied. Light citrus, pine and fruityness in the flavor. Short finish. Good beer with food. For sessions could be more interesting.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange copper with small frothy white head leaving sticky lacing. Floral hop and citrus aroma. Thin mouthfeel with light hop and light bitter finish. Easy to drink a good American pale ale from BBC.

Tap @ Boulder Beer DIA. Somewhat hazy, burnt orange appearance with a cream colored head. Piney hoppy, caramel malty nose. Moderately piney hoppy, bitter, caramel malty flavor. Flavor tastes a little dull here, so might need to rerate.

Bottle. Sweet caramel and light grassy hop aroma. Amber, generous head with good retention and lacing. Smooth malty flavor well balance by light grassy, slightly citrus hops. I was really surprised by how subdued the hops flavor was. A nice easy drinking beer, that went down pretty fast. and left me wishing I had a second one.
