This flagship Hazy IPA, produced by Steamworks Brewing Company in B.C., Canada
This award-winning hazy IPA is a New England-inspired IPA that shares many of the same qualities as traditional American IPA. The former is unfiltered, slightly less bitter, juicy, and characterized by beer lovers as plush, creamy and silky. Hazy IPAs tend to incorporate fresh citrus and other sour flavors into their recipes, many of which have flavors such as orange, grapefruit, papaya, mango, passionflower, orange, guava, and pineapple — no wonder these tropical-inspired beers have become so popular during the cold New England winters. The truly "juicy" qualities in Hazy IPA come from the style's dry throwing approach; The brewer adds plump hops late in the process, which reduces their bitterness and instead improves their fruity quality.
This flagship IPA is thick on the palate, full in body, with inconspicuous bitterness, light aftertaste, fruity and tropical flair.
