New Holland Brewing Hazy River
What the brewers say
“Smooth and juicy, brewed with 100 percent Citra hops. ... A beautiful hazy-golden appearance.”
What our panel thought
“Light spicy nose, reminiscent of a Belgian pale ale with grass, geranium, and pepper qualities. Rounded body, fairly sweet mid-palate, which gives it a somewhat heavy impression. Missing definition throughout; the pieces to the puzzle are there but do not come together.”
What our editors thought
“A nondescript nose leads to gentle peach-banana in the sip, with an almost baby food–like mealy element. A lingering earthy pineapple bitterness marks the finish, but it’s tame at best.”
