![]() Because the hops are not boiled, this “hot steep” time allows for the extraction of aroma and flavors, but not too much bitterness. Hazy IPAs are usually brewed with most or all of the brewhouse hops added to the whirlpool after boiling is complete. In West Coast IPAs, hops are usually added to the kettle throughout the wort boil to extract a range of bitterness and flavor. One of the main differences between the two styles is when hops are added during the brewing process. ![]() The science behind the haze: It’s not just for appearances The love for Mind Haze has allowed the line to grow, and we now offer even more hazy IPA options including Double Mind Haze, Mind Haze Light, and our Tropical Hazy Mixed Pack. It didn’t just stop there for us, though. Brewed with Cashmere, Mandarina, El Dorado, Idaho 7, Azacca, and Mosaic hops, it comes in at 6.2% ABV. Mind Haze is a free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions – juicy yet balanced, hazy yet lasting, and loaded with an imaginative array of tropical hop flavors. T he haze craze is well underway, and most breweries are now offering at least one hazy – style IPA to stay current with the trends and give the people what they want. This leads to less bitterness, a mid-palate flavor, and more aroma. These factors can impact the perception of bitterness and balance.Ĭompared to West Coast IPAs, hazy IPAs tend to have more hops added post-fermentation, with little to none in the kettle, and a smaller amount in the whirlpool. They also have a fuller or creamier mouthfeel, and are often sweeter. Hazy IPAs tend to be lower on the bitterness scale and offer tropical and juicy flavors. ![]() The Hazy IPA goes by many names including New England IPA, juicy IPA, East Coast IPA, and unfiltered IPA. It comes in at 6.7% ABV, and it offers hints of tropical fruit flavors including mango, passionfruit, white grape, and lychee.

Compared to Union Jack, we double dry hop this beer with varieties from the U.S. ![]() Its distinguishing feature is that it’s brewed with Cryo Hops®, which allows for a big hop aroma with much lower bitterness. Our latest IPA release, Hopnosis, is also a West Coast IPA. Packing a punch at 7% ABV it includes an array of hops including Magnum, Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo, Citra, Chinook, and Simcoe.
