A Hazy IPA, like the name implies, has a cloudy appearance, one you cant see through like you might with other beer styles (think a light-bodied pilsner or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).But a Hazy IPA is far more than looks. Its foggy appearance hints at a fullness of flavor, which it delivers. The careful planning of malt and hops, along with less filtering before packaging, yields a beer with lower perceived bitterness than other IPAs and hop character thats decidedly fruity youll often hear juicy as a flavor descriptor, like a tasty bite of ripe citrus. With our Hazy Little Thing IPA, you might pick up notes of orange and pineapple. Thats all hops; we dont brew Hazy Little Thing with any real fruit.While other craft beer styles might seem like an acquired taste the assertive bitterness of a West Coast IPA, the richness of an Imperial Stout the popularity of Hazy IPA suggests its a crowd pleaser. Not to say its superior by any means, but Hazy IPA is a welcoming style within craft beer.2. The #2 best-selling IPA overall in 20223.
