I would try it. Hazy is not my favorite IPA, but it is good to try new things.

Put a shot of Evan Williams Peach in the bottom of a glass, then pour one of these over it. Enjoy. You're welcome.

I'll admit I don't particularly care for the taste of most IPAs, but all the hops sure do get me where I need to be in a hurry.
I've said it before - for me, sippin whiskey neat does not give the intense happy buzz I get from IPAs. I probably only drink IPAs 5 or 6 times a year. |

Tonight we are working on Huss Cenpho (for Central Phoenix)
 I like it. Just a touch of citrus to go with the IPA. |

Any IPAs they describe as juicy almost always get an automatic pass from me. I've learned my lesson. Some unfiltered haze is fine, but recently they've been going overboard with it.

Juicy, Witty and Golden Monkey are all pretty good offerings, IMO. I'm not a fan of sours, so Berry and Sour Monkey's aren't high on my list, but at 9.5% I quickly stop caring about that...

I got a free 6pack of New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Tropic Force a few weeks ago. Holy shit. That stuff is awesome. Not bitter, not too "sweet". Pretty high ABV. New favorite, if I wasn't doing Keto.

A new one for me, but of the general style I like. My beer preferences: 1) Barrel Aged Stouts 2) Belgian Dubbels and Quads, with emphasis on the Quads 3) Hazy IPA's. For years, I hated IPA's but I recently discovered it was because I had only had face puckering West coast IPA's. Once I discovered the Northeast, hazy, fruity style, I got it My second homebrew batch (a Russian Imperial Stout) is fermenting right now. I'm looking for a Belgian dubbel/quad and hazy IPA, for brews #3 and #4. Extract only right now, but I'm researching all-grain brewing.

I don't want any flavor additive ingredients like coconut or chocolate or fruit or anything. Just beer flavored beer.

I cannot drink beer in any quantity like I could when I was 25. It just fills me up. But I can really enjoy a couple or three of them. In my county and the next one there are 28 tiny breweries. I like to buy directly at the breweries. This way I know I am getting fresh beer and not pasteurized stuff that is who knows how old. They also will usually pour you a taste to try before you buy, which is kind of cool. Random examples:

I'll be the "well actually" guy today. They made the beer that way in order to preserve it. I will one up your "well actually". The pale ale was actually purchased off the shelf. George Hodgson's Bow Brewery offered credit, and so was purchased and shipped to India. It wasn't originally brewed for shipping long distances. Now, if we believe this theory, (and I do), we have to give up the theory that Martin Luther invented IPAs. He did play a part in popularizing hops in beer brewing, but I don't think he deserves credit for IPAs. |

Pale ale was not specifically brewed for export to India. It was purchased off the shelf, mainly because of the credit extended by the brewer. I don't doubt that after this, brewers experimented with different styles, but the original brew was off the shelf, not specifically designed for shipping long distances. That it did ship well was simply a happy accident. Buying beer on credit for 18 months was what the original choice was all about. |
