Matchless Crack A Fruit Hazy Pale Ale 4.4% Hazy weather so drink a hazy beer??? Why not. Very pale hazy milky honey gold color with a fizzy head of off-white foam that leaves goons of soapy lacing behind. The aroma is suitably juicy for a NEIPA but the taste is more bitter than I expected with woodsy pine elements I don’t think fit the style. It’s ok though the body is a bit thin for haze. Got via a trade.

Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Stas. Cloudy yellow, white head. Great juicy fruity hops aroma, "green". Dry flavor with "green" fruity hops, bitter finish. Light-bodied.

16oz can pours out a hazy straw color topped with a white head. Nose is a nice fruit mix with fresh hops leading the way. Taste is more of the fruit hops and a light sweet malt.

16 ounce can from Mongers. Pours a somewhat hazy yellow orange color with a medium white head. A light grainy lemon nose. Soft peaches, lemons, a bit of bitterness, some mango. Very flavorful. Smooth, easy.

Draft 8 oz pour at Chucks, Central District. A rookie brewery that is off to such a hot start, I’m seeking out their new brews until I can visit them at their new taproom, and tell them how good the beer is. An intriguing beer here. A lighter, session pale, with a ton of flavor. Golden orange, juicy pour. Patchy head. Juicy orange, mango and pineapple aroma. Flavor is very juicy as well. Melon fruit, mango, tropical mix. Soft grains, and a cream background. Moderate bitterness late. Has a light feel, but not 4.3 light. A ton of fruit come back late. Another solid release from these guys.
