BrewDog Hazy Jane 5% ABV New England IPA Beers 24x330ml Cans

Product Information

As well as the core ingredients of water, malted barley, yeast and hops, Hazy Jane includes flaked oats and torrified wheat (probably to help with head retention and body), and lactic acid, which may be added at the mashing stage of the brewing process or before fermentation to add sourness to the beer. The finish is mouth-watering and smooth. Per the style, there was nearly no bitterness to it. Again, for those that typically do not like IPAs, this makes Hazy Jane a great option. Final Thoughts As the name suggests, Strong Suffolk is not for the faint-hearted. We blend a proportion of our very special and rare vintage 5x brew with a rich malty dark ale to create a deeply satisfying and complex beer. Any time there is a trend, I worry that everyone will jump on board. But this doesn’t mean the beer will be good; it just means they want to capitalize on the trend. BrewDog nailed it with Hazy Jane. This is exactly what I have come to expect from a New England IPA.

Double Hop Monster IPA is the wildest, hoppiest beer we've ever brewed. A "Big" beer in every way, it's bold, bitter and thanks to extensive dry-hopping - fabulously aromatic. Full of hops and with a lasting fruity flavour, yardbird is inspired by the bold American pale ales. Brisk, hoppy and not too strong - perfect for enjoying with friends. I see no reason why the demand for New England IPAs will fade. But supply will increase as more and more breweries brew them.

Disclaimer

While most breweries opt for a predominantly sweet juice flavor, BrewDog has injected some piney bitterness into their rendition of a hazy IPA. There is some malt sweetness and tropical fruit qualities, but the inclusion of some more prominent dank, pine makes for a pleasantly different hazy IPA. Overall the mouthfeel is full and well-rounded without being chewy or overwhelming. It’s a refreshing, tasty experience. The Bottom Line

Now Brewdog has created “Hazy Jane” (also known as “Hazy AF”) – an ultra-low-alcohol (0.5%) NEIPA, loosely based on its full-strength “Hazy Jane” beer – in concept if not in ingredients and bitterness. Hazy Jane ingredients With the ale rolling over the middle palate, the bounty of fruits grow with a delicious sense of peach, orange, mango, apricot and a lighter dates character. As the sweetness wraps around both the fruit impressions from hops and also the yeast esters, the smooth bitterness of resins rise with bolder suggestions of tea, spruce, hemp and verbena to close the session out. But that’s a good thing as most people have been waiting in lines or trading to get this style of beer over the past few years. Most of you aren’t going to spend a good portion of your weekend hunting for beer. As the can will tell you, there is ample amounts of pineapple and mango in the flavor. It has a juice like sweetness to it as well. For many, the sweetness can be a little strong in this style. Hazy Jane has a prominent sweet side to it.

Finally, another Brewdog AF beer to get excited about. The aroma is stunning, and while the standard of the mouthfeel and flavour isn’t quite as high, this is a fair attempt at a NEIPA. Pours out to a turbid deep yellow, forming a modest white head with average retention and lacing. Carbonation is a little on the mild side, ~2.25 or so. The nose is really nice. The munich malt shines through with a nice grainy character followed by pineapple, mango, guava nectar. No pine/MJ or cat pee. Straight up tropical fruits. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium dense bodied, somewhat creamy/slightly syrupy but pillow soft like a cozy blanket. The taste is a recap of the nose, but there is a little pine in the bitterness which is fairly mild. Despite the intense hops, the malt character shines through which makes this a bit more unique compared to many that are brewed with other sugars. Quite drinkable. No off flavors or aromas. Very well brewed. Pineapple the strongest aroma here, the alcohol breezes through gently but adds a nice little amount of spicey heat on a deep inhale. Bits of mango and bready malt. General citrusy hop notes, very zesty. Some mango too, typical for the style. You may notice that they describe this beer as a Vermont style IPA. The New England IPA is still developing and there are lots of different names for it. Some call it a Northeast IPA as well. I am a huge fan of the New England IPA. They often make my list of The Best Craft Beer that I drink each month.
