Enjoyed on tap at home. Obviously over several occasions, but choosing to rare tonight. I chose this beer for the early service months for its promise of pure refreshment, and it delivers. Bright golden orange haze. Patchy foam head. Balanced well with biscuit like mat, and juicy citrus hops. Smooth and refreshing taste, flavorful while maintaining a light brew feel. Really easy to have this on tap and just keep it pouring. Slick finish with a late citrus reminder. Will always enjoy this brew. Hope it stays in their regular lineup.

Homegrown #6 - Hazy IPA from Bale Breaker Brewing Company
5 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz. Aroma has notes of bready malt, biscuity malt, papaya, overripe strawberries. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone white head with decent retention. Taste has a light to moderate pithy bitterness. Not really juicy and sweet like a NEIPA. More like a West Coast, but it lacks any serious bitterness. It’s more subtle than either, reminding me more of an American Pale Ale than anything. Pillowy mouthfeel with somewhat soft carbonation. Not bad.
