No Foolin' Hopsy Likes Them Hazy and Dank

April Fool’s Day is a bit dark and dreary, but Hopsy was happy to be back outside with a hazy, dank IPA from Lumen Beer Co. called Lumenati. For those who like a dank IPA, this one is for you! Subtle pineapple and stonefruit notes quickly transition to dank, grassy, bitter notes. The hop profile is Citra, Mosaic, Citra Cryo, Columbus Cryo, and El Dorado hops in this hazy 7.2% ABV, 35 IBU IPA.

When making your way to Omaha, Nebraska, a trip to Little Bohemia and Lumen Beer Co. is a fun experience!

Cheers!

Nepo Baby is Out of This World

Nepo Baby is a hazy DIPA that is a collaboration between Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. and BlackStack Brewing. This 7.8% ABV IPA has a hop profile of Strata, Nelson, and Riwaka hops.

The nose on this one, for me, is distinctly pineapple. The notes are pineapple and stone fruit. The body is a bit lighter than other DIPAs I have had from Toppling Goliath. The finish is dank and holds on for a while.

Another enjoyable collaboration brew from Toppling Goliath.

Cheers!

Hazy and Bright On a Cold Snowy Night

When I think of Deschutes Brewery, the first words that come to mind are “fresh squeezed.” The Fresh Squeezed IPA set a very high bar for Deschutes. When I found this Hazetron Imperial Hazy IPA, it was time to put it to the test!

Today was a snowstorm, and I needed something to remind me of warmer days. Hazetron is a perfect warmer, coming in at 8.0% ABV. The orange and stone fruit notes are what I get upfront. The body is soft, transitioning smoothly to a mild hop finish.

The hop profile consists of Simcoe Cryo and Experimental 630 hops. The one thing that is always difficult is getting a beer, not knowing how long it has been on the shelf. When I made my purchase, I checked the canned date, which was three months. Amazingly, Hazetron is still extremely fresh with no sediment flakes after 90 days!

Give this one a try to shed those winter blues.

Cheers!
