Silver City Tropic Haze

Aroma: “Juicy and catty. The hops aroma leans more to the dank side than the fresh fruit side, but there’s some orange and mango juice.”

Flavor: “Big hops leans toward some of the harsher dank/resinous qualities, but the overall impression is still balanced. Pushes past the citrus and into a floral—almost Easter lily or iris—sulfur thing. The finish is chewy and lingers wonderfully with a mix of bitter and fruity notes.

Overall: “Straddles the line of traditional American IPA and the newfangled hazy variants, but the aggressive qualities come together really nicely and complement the fruitier aspects of the beer.”
