Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing American IPA at 6.7% ABV | 40 IBU (C$3.00 at Oak & Vine, 355 ml, packaged on 9-Apr-2018, acquired 25-May-2018, reviewed 31-May-2018)
Appearance: cloudy opaque pale gold with one finger of rocky white head diminishing gradually to a persistent cap, moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, tropical fruit, clean pale malt, light pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly creamy body, moderate carbonation, off-dry moderate bitter finish. (4/5)
Nicely implemented example of the style: fragrant citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, mild bitterness on the tongue, easy-drinking and refreshing. Both the aroma and the flavour are a bit on the mild side, and I’d probably like it better if it were a little more emphatic – but then it might not be quite so easy-drinking. I mean, seriously, I could down a sixer of this without even coming up for air. Mind you, the fact that I just came off yet another 12 hour work day might have something to do with that… (16/20)
