Hazy Bay Juicy IPA is a juicy and flavorful hazy IPA with moderate hop aroma and bitterness. The aroma and flavor have a light malt character with a prominent hop character that reflects fresh citrus, tropical fruit, and stone fruit flavor. This full-bodied beer has a creamy mouthfeel, and a toasty, soft finish.

Slightly hazy pale amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Strings of lace. Grassy hop, citrus and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbal hop, grapefruit, melon and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall, pure white head. Aroma of crisp citrusey hops with a touch of tropical fruits and grass, but not much else, as there is noticeable hoppiness, but not too much in terms of alpha acids or bitterness. Light to Medium-bodied; Floral and quite grassy hop notes show first with a softer citrusey flavour and some very light tropical fruit notes, but nothing overtly juicy about this - it shows some nice hops without bitterness and the malt balances relatively well. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness and a good amount of malt backbone to supplement the relatively strong grassy and citrusey hop notes, which are strong, but again don't show much bitterness. Overall, a nice and crisp beer that shows a good deal of flavours from the hops, but not a lot of bitterness from said hops. Good to sample here out West-ish. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Sickie's (Burger Bar) in Rapid City, South Dakota on 26-June-2020 for US$5,50.

12oz can. Wheat and Oats shine. The hops are pleasant, but not bombed out DDH style. Drinks like sort of a bland West Coast IPA at the end of the day, flavors are muted. Enjoyable enough, but rather boring for the style.

12 oz from a six pack. Aroma is cantaloupe, orange peel, Smarties, alcohol. Pours hazy orange with a one finger off-white head with good retention. Taste is faintly bitter, lightly sweet, finishing lightly dry, with flavors like the aroma. Middle of the road, but not bad.

On Tap at the River Room A milky dull orange pour with a coarse sticky light beige head. Nice juicy melon and tropical fruit aromas and flavors, low bitterness and a fairly sweet fruit medley. Pleasant.
