As brewers, we get the privilege to sample our beers straight from the tanks in all their raw glory. Some beers need a little polishing to get ready to go out into the world, while others—the hop-heavy, rowdy, crowd-pleasers—should just be left alone. We wanted to share this brewery-only treat with you, so we present this Hazy Little Thing, our unfiltered, unprocessed IPA, straight from the tanks and into the can.

On tap pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is light citrus hops and some tropical touch. Taste is more of the nice light citrus tropical hop combo.

Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy vivid golden coloured body. Juicy aroma with nectarine & exotic fruits. Medium bodied, smooth with a livelier back. Nectarine, sweet exotic fruits & mango tastes with hopped up tangy finish. Excellent.

Can from Yevgenia: pours light orange haze with white head. Aroma is citrusy, slightly tropical. Taste is juicy, low bitterness. Fairly sweet.

Kind of what you’d expect as a hazy boi from Sierra Nevada

Tap at Kennedys Irish Bar, Copenhagen (29/04/2023) with the mighty palace beating the irons in a entertaining game 🦅🔴🔵 ⚽️4-3 🔨 Sweetish fruity and malty with notes of pineapple, orange and grapefruit, sweet malty backing, light bitter hoppy close, ok.

12 oz. can from The Mansion. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Minor spots of lacing. Pine and faint citrus aroma. Flavors of piney hops, and even less citrus flavor than the aroma, with a drying finish. Medium-light bitterness. Semi-crisp mouthfeel, slightly below average carbonation. The 6.7% ABV is well hidden. Not juicy enough for a hazy, IMHO.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. can, 6.7% ABV, PKGD: 02/03/23
AROMA: I'm first hit with lemon, banana, orange and guava. Which is then followed by a hint of pine resin. NOTE: As the beer warms, the pine resin becomes much more prevalent.
APPEARANCE: Pours a hazy, golden yellow with a very tall head that has a tight, white, froth that dissipates slowly with excellent lacing.
TASTE: Lightly sweet at the beginning, with faint flavors of orange, guava, and pine. There is then a slow transition to mild bitterness, which then does a final transition to a bit of citrus tang. Given the somewhat high levels of citrus scent in the aroma, I'm quite surprised at how subdued the actual citrus flavors are.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium body with a slightly rough texture and a somewhat dry finish. Carbonation seems a little above average.
OVERALL: Aroma-wise and visually, I thought I was really going to like this beer. However, I find myself really wishing the citrus flavors were much more pronounced. Having said that, I do find that what flavors are there, stay on an even keel giving you a consistent experience, even as the beer warms to room temperature. While I've had plenty of other beers in this genre that I much prefer over this one, I would certainly buy this again for various events (parties, pool side lounging, etc.). The mild citrus flavors with a touch of bitterness, makes for a more universally acceptable beer (i.e. won't offend most palates) and is very refreshing on a hot day.
