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.

Beautiful red-amber color, with generous solid head. Very nice aroma, the hop is very fruity and resiny. The flavor is a bit of a disappointment, weaker than expected, dry, without any sweetness; the hop is still present, but, again, less impressive than the aroma. Unfinished IPA.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of fiulijn. Pours cloudy dark orange with a huge off-white head. Aroma is slight spiced, hoppy and soapy. Bitter, citrusy and grapefruity. Light peachy too. Dry and hoppy finish. Nice and crisp.

Bottle thanks to jbye4334 marked as Mar3110. Pours a murky orange-amber body and a large off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and juice hops. Some caramel as well. Light nutty note and bready tones. Taste is nutty and slightly fruity. Some hay like grain notes as well. Light bubbles. Decent viscosity but still light bodied. A very nice pale.

bottle thanks Rob, nice golden color, nice citrus flavor, decent pale ale, could maybe go a little more bold and would be a nice drinkable IPA, was hoping for a little more ABV in this, but good not great.

Draught at Murphyβs Law. Floral, citrus hops-really fragrant with lots of citrus and rich caramel. Good, bold malt with chocolate and caramel--malt profile almost like a brown ale, but hopped like a pa. Very interesting hop-malt balance. I like it.

Fabulously well blended aroma of toffee, pine, and cedar, moderately strong. Clear dark golden pour with a thick pale yellow head, fair retention, good lacing. Stinging mouthfeel, very distracting. Metallic and generic bitter flavor. Copper finish. The aromatic hops are wonderful but set the bar too high.

Location: Updating this rating with a 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 11/15/09
Aroma: A light and pleasant aroma of citrus, pine, resin, and yeast
Appearance: Pours a hazy copper-brown color with a fluffy light brown head that leaves lots of lace on the glass
Flavor: The flavor is has a nice hop bitterness with a classic malt feel for balance
Palate: An easy drinking beer with a medium body, but too short a duration
Overall Impression: I had this one rated decently, but maybe a drop low, so I bumped it up a bit (Ap: 3 to 4; OI: 12 to 13 - Total 3.1 to 3.3). Otherwise it is a nice enough beer, I think it could use a bit more depth in all aspects, particularly duration, but for a nice session beer you really wouldn't go wrong drinking this one.
Location: Old rating from a 12 oz bottle from a trip to Denver Fall '07
Overall Impression: I remember enjoying this beer. Have it down as a really solid Pale, nice hoppiness and malt balance. Tasty brew. (Old rating was a 3.1)

Bottle from world of beer in Tampa. Nice light amber color with a white head, smells of hops and citrus. The flavor in this beer is great, tons of fresh hops and light citrus in the backround. A very refreshing and drinkable beer.
