Boss Tweed is 9.3% of hazy swagger. So much swagger it’s been one of the Midwest’s highest-rated hazy double IPAs for 7 years and running! An unrestrained, must-try hazy brew bursting with citrusy hops and tropical peach, mango, and tangerine aromas.
A nice pilsner malt backbone with a touch of Vienna provides balance and a lingering sweetness on the back end with a hint of warming from the higher alcohol content.

Poured from can dated 12/7/17 thanks Steve hazy grapefruit with a foamy white head. Aroma of sickly caramel mild citrus and light hops. Taste is so sickly sweet caramel and grain needs more hops and citrus. This is not anything close to a New England IPA. I would gladly send you a 4 pack to re do your recipe.

16 oz can shared TJ! Canned 12-7-17. (This should be right it it’s wheelhouse). Sadly, it is not. This is NOT an NEIPA. Maybe visit New England? Looks like (and tastes like) a market ploy here... Reminds me of a IPA I made with my home brew club back in 2006.
Aroma is sweet caramel, mild grain. No hops. I was hoping for hops. Where is the four varieties of hops it lists on the can?? Syrupy, sticky texture. Sickly sweet. Not balanced at all. Drain drinks this one. Very unfortunate. I did like the name!

Can. Pours a soupy hazy apricot with a head of white fizz. Aromas are a lovely mix of tropical fruit, resin and citrus. Flavor is all that with a bit of chewy maltiness and some ABV warmth on the back end. Yum!

On tap at Hopcat A2. Pours a cloudy gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of citrus with earthy grains, rind and a hint of onion supporting. Flavor has some rind and lots of citrus with onion and sweet grains backing.

16oz can thanks to torrey pours out a hazy cloudy orange juice color topped with a white head. Nose is lots of orange juice citrus hops and some spice. Taste is more of the citrus orange juice hops and sweetness.

Can into a wineglass showing moderately hazy orange with no head. The nose shows very subtle orange. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Moderately intense flavours of orange with no bitterness.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/23/2017. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice thick soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge tangerine, orange juice, peach, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, grapefruit, guava, lemon, citrus zest, berry, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing complexity and balance of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, peach, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, grapefruit, guava, lemon, citrus zest, berry, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very minimal pine, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, peach, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, grapefruit, guava, lemon, citrus zest, berry, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is incredible. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.3%. Overall this is an insane NEIPA! All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/tropical/citrus hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Pure citrus/tropical fruit juice hop flavors, with a touch of dankness; perfectly balanced malts, without feeling overly sweet or heavy for the ABV. A highly amazing offering, and world class style example. One of the best I have had yet.
