Hazy Double IPA
Ride an interstellar wave of tropical flavor in this Cosmic Little Thing, a hazy nebula glowing with Comet, Strata, and Helios hops for notes of citrus, berries, and lychee.

A typically well balanced SN beer. I’d say doesn’t go full haze - both in look and character. Some tropical fruits, a little pine, rind, tangerine, supportive pale malts. Understated boozy boost. The sweetness is nicely rounded off by the hops. Just a nicely balanced, highly drinkable beer, especially given the strength.

19.2 fl oz can from Albertsons. Cloudy golden pour, persistent thick, dense head. Citrusy aroma, mostly grapefruit grows bolder in the taste, zesty, juicy. I wasn't expecting much, and this beer over-delivered.

Hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized ecru-ish white head (which would probably be larger in a normal glass); aroma of pineapple, mango, so.e pea h, tangerine, orange peel and some oats notes; hoppy taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; good one!

12 ounce can from Jack's Fresh Mart Marinette - Roosevelt, 5/20/25. Hzzy orange, large white head, average retention. Aroma of melon, dank, tropical fruit. Taste is resin, dank, citrus, pale malt. Juicy, mild bitterness, no booze. Nice.

Imperial pint can, pkd 12/24. Moderately hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma of mango, pineapple, mandarin, bread, pine. Softish texture with sweet tropical notes. But the pine and somewhat twiggy bitterness doesn't really suit. But it's OK.
