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.

Hazed is a solid pale ale, great for summer afternoons. The malts step softly across your palate, since the star of the show is the hoppy goodness that unfolds. Hazed gives you a swipe of funky, pungent, herbal hop right at the outset, yet then drifts from its focus like an ADHD kid listening to All Things Considered. Good, yet lacking the punch of a Headwaters or Sweetgrass APA.

Draft at Dexters. Hazy orange-brown under a fluffy, steady off-white head. Some slight bitterness in the aroma, some toasty sweetness too. Pretty well-hopped and nice with a smooth malt backbone. Well balanced, overall a pretty solid APA. Sessionable, English Ale qualities.

Nice copper with a white head. Very balanced hop to malt aroma and flavor on this one. Nice roundness from the lightly toasted, sweet malts that really reign the hop bitterness in. Stellar sub-5% beer. Love the session.

On tap at The Taphouse, pours clear copper. Aroma and flavour of heavily accented floral hops and substantial hop bitterness for a pale ale. Solid one.

12 oz bottle into Sam Adams lager glass. Pours just a slightly hazy orange hue with a nice thick pillowy head that sticks around forever. Leaves lace from the top of the pour line down to the bottom of the glass--perfect. Aroma is piney hops, cinnamon, boquet of flowers. Taste is bittersweet, with the sweetness very different for an APA; tasty. I can tell this would be an absolute perfect session beer. It’s delicious, but it goes down so easily. Perfect for the hardcore beer drinker who likes nice flavor along with easy drinkability. Carbonation is medium and so is the body. What a great beer.

Purchased in Nashville, TN on a trip there. Pours a golden-copper colour with an off-white frothy head that stays a while and leaves wavy lacing. Beautiful nose of fruits that is hoppy. The taste is not as hoppy as I thought it would be. More fruity (oranges), with hints of strawberries. Dry mouthfeel with some sweetness from the caramel malt. Becomes a bit hazy at the last pour from the bottle. Some notes of grapefruit stand out after a while. Not much bitterness in the taste, but an overall good American Pale Ale that is fruity.

12 oz bottle. Pours orange amber with a nice off-white head. Aromas of biscuit, honey, citrus, and grassy hops. Flavor has a balance of biscuity malts and grassy and citrus hops with a bit of a sweet cherry note. A rather nice pale ale.

A very nice APA, well balanced. More like a IPA.
