296. Great Lakes Brewing Co. (Cleveland, OH) - Hazecraft IPA

“3, 2, 1…we have haze! A cloudy cosmos of Azacca, Lemondrop, and Simcoe hops awaits exploration. Blast into orbit through a hazy galaxy of otherworldly tropical fruit aromas.”

For me, this is indeterminately tropical, with an echo of lemon on the back end, and a bitter finish that is disproportionate to the rest of the flavor profile. As it warms up, the bitterness softens a little bit, and I get a hint of papaya. Tried a second to see if anything changed, but nothing did. It’s not bad, but it’s nothing to write home about, either.
