Transcending the North-South divide in the pursuit of Hazy IPA Perfection, we’ve teamed up with Verdant and Beak for the fifth larger-than-life Smug Patrons Project.
A whirlpool of Simcoe gives piney backbone, underpinning layers of smooth, sweet tropical and juicy citrus from Citra and El Dorado.

Hazy yellow, thick white head. Smell is sweet, juicy fruity, soft tropical. Nice body, soft with a slight bite. Taste is sweet, fruity, super ripe fruit (mango, orange, papaya) and a nice amount of pine at the finish. Very tasty, and an awesome label.

Can. Light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, fairly sweet, thin creamy sweetness. The hop trio kick off with crisp pine and nibbly hop spice. Crisp citrus into a little spicy bitterness. Confirmation bias seeks that El Dorado Sakura tone and finds it. Would I have spotted this blind? I'd like to think so because it is quite obvious but but... Finishes crisp and spicy with more bright citrus and a touch of bright peel. Leaves a hop spicy linger and a touch of milky sweetness in the aftertaste. Very good stuff. That touch of milky sweetness just stops it from reaching the highest echelons.

Can at home, 2nd July 2022. Pours murky and hazy. Aroma is overripe, tropical fruits and mango. Taste is sweet, mango, tropical fruits, needed a bit more bitterness, but OK
