How We Review

What the brewers say

Bright and citrusy, with lemon peel, Simcoe, Mosaic, Azacca, and Lemondrop hops.

What our panel thought

Pine and the berry character reminiscent of spruce tips hit your nose first. Light orange zest notes give way to a dry, moderately bitter finish. A light cantaloupe-like quality appears as it warms. Low-moderate aroma with medium-full flavor. The bitterness overwhelms the malt bill on the finish, almost bringing a light astrin-gency.

What our editors thought

Lemon and pine on blast with a super light body and tight bitterness. Crushably bright with a lingering lem-on-forest bitterness and fruitiness reminiscent of spruce tips.

Lawson's Finest Liquids Little Sip IPA

Our little cousin to Sip of Sunshine IPA has a juicy, fruit-forward character layered with tropical hop flavors and bright floral aromas. Notes of grapefruit and pineapple complement this delectably balanced beer. Little Sip IPA quenches your thirst as you reach the summit of your favorite hike and keeps you company while you mow the lawn. This may very well be your new desert-island beer!

Two Roads Twoquila

We took our Two Roads Persian Lime Gose, brewed it with agave and aged it all in authentic tequila barrels from Jalisco, Mexico. Time spent in these barrels imparts an oaky character and subtle notes of blue agave. A touch of fresh lime juice perfects this most delightful beer. Salud!

Highland Brewing Company Rising Haze

Rising Haze IPA is our first widely distributed hazy IPA. This beer has big expressive hop character with natural haze and vibrant notes of citrus, pineapple, and apricots. Rising Haze is double dry-hopped with hops such as Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy added last to provide a tropical top note. There are very intentional layers of aroma and flavor at work in this beer to create something honest and interesting.

New Realm Brewing Co. Tyrannosaurus Flex

Behold, the king of the double IPAs, the Tyrannosaurus Flex! For our third release in the “Monsters and Myths” DIPA series, we brewed a hazy DIPA exclusively with Australian hops. Galaxy, Ella, Vic Secret, and Wakatu hops and Norwegian kviek yeast give this monster DIPA a cretaceous amount of tropical fruit and citrus notes. Balanced with a hint of dankness, this hazy beast is the ruler of its realm.

Deschutes WOWZA! Lo-Cal Hazy Pale Ale

“WOWZA! is impossibly delicious. With only 100 calories, 4g of carbs, 4% ABV and a crisp, light finish, this full-flavored yet crushable, citrusy hazy pale ale will make you say…WOWZA! Chicory Root has been added to bring some balance to the body of the beer without affecting the calorie count. Our latest creation is now available in cans at your local retailer and on draft at your favorite bar!”

Surly Stunner Tropical Ale

The concept behind Stunner is simple. A hop bill that leans heavily on Amarillo, El Dorado, and Mosaic hops for tropical notes of mango, orange, and papaya, plus a hit of lactose to add some sweetness. The result gives you a taste of the tropics in the comfort of your own home. We did not know how relevant that concept would become. Refreshing and citrusy, Stunner takes you places even when you can’t go anywhere.

Crooked Stave Von Pilsner

Combining our brewery's super soft water, traditional floor malted barley and the finest German hops, this unfiltered keller pilsner is crushable. Brewed as a traditional European pilsner, this is what beer tastes like pouring from the wooden vats used to make lager beer for centuries.

Modern Times Themisto

This spectacle of haze-craft features a lupulin-laden power-combo of Citra, El Dorado, Nelson, and Amarillo hops, resulting in a glorious detonation of tropical fruit and peach character that’s like summer vacation in liquid form.

Tröegs Haze Charmer Dry-Hopped Hazy Pale Ale

Haze Charmer emerges from a soft, swirling cloud of oats and unmalted wheat. Vigorous dry-hopping adds a second phase of haze, propping up the oils of El Dorado and Citra hops. Each sip delivers notes of juicy pineapple, fresh grapefruit and candied peach balanced by a hint of white pine and low bitterness. A soft, juicy and hazy pale ale, Haze Charmer is here to cast its spell on you. We taste: juicy pineapple, candied peach and a hint of white pine.

New Belgium Sour IPA

Juicy and tropical notes are lifted to new heights by the addition of our iconic wood-aged sour for a flight of refreshing acidity. Hazy and partly sour with a chance of another.

Deschutes Luna Jo Cold Brew Coffee Lager

Luna Jo has complex flavor of toffee, dark chocolate, and coffee are all wrapped up in a crisp and refreshing Mexican style dark lager. It’s a dark lager full of rich, nutty aromas and a surprisingly smooth and light finish.

Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA

Fresh Haze IPA from Deschutes Brewery is their hazy twist on Fresh Squeezed IPA. Tropical, mango, citrusy goodness from Mandarina, Amarillo and Cashmere hops. The orange citrus sweetness explodes in your mouth and the almost creamy-like body keeps these lingering flavors around long after each sip.
