Take a ride out of the Stratasphere with Van Beer. We dry hop this hazy IPA with only Strata hops to create aromas of strawberry, passionfruit, and cannabis. We make this to honor our favorite beer, the shift beer.

Aroma has notes of gummy peach rings, cat piss. Taste is mildly to moderately bitter, finishing dry, with flavors like the aroma.

This is a good one, and I don't really love the hazies, but this is among the upper tier of that style. Really nice fresh and pungent hop nose, fully of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is similar, with a nice breadiness from the malt. Zesty. Incredibly drinkable.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy yellow pour, white frothy head recedes to thin coating. Aroma is fragrant, fruity, citrus, floral, minty. Taste comes in with a bracing zesty bitterness that instantly tingles the palate, a bit too much possibly (my palate may be affected by the flu I'm recovering from). Dry, chalky feel, grapefruit, pineapple with a really quick finish, except for the lingering buzz on the tongue.

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet tropical fruit hops over ripe notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical hops and a great end.

Draft at The Halford. Pours hazy yellow-orange with off-white head that retains well and patterns well. Bright orange aroma and flavor. Solid yeast and malt support. Very juicy with grapefruit rind in the back half of the palate. Faint prickly pear at the end in the flavor.
