Karl Strauss Boat Shoes IPA (473ml) / Boat Shoes Hazy IPA

A popular Hazy IPA from a long-established brewery in the holy land of San Diego. The refreshing citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon are beautifully combined with fruity aromas of mango and pineapple.

It was originally created as part of Karl Strauss' Small Batch program, but was sold out in just a few days after its release, which was unprecedented.

Since then, it has been brewed several times, and each time it has become a huge hit, selling out like hotcakes.

As proof of this, it was one of the most engaged posts on Karl Strauss' official Instagram, it has a whopping 1,500 likes on Untappd, and it even won a bronze medal at the National IPA Championship hosted by Brewing News, so its popularity is skyrocketing.

Finally, in 2019, Boat Shoes Hazy IPA was officially added to the lineup as a standard product.

Regarding the name “Boat Shoes,” Sean Albrecht, head brewer at Karl Strauss and creator of Boat Shoes, said:

“When I was in the eastern US for the CBC (Craft Brewers Conference), everyone in town was wearing boat shoes and the term boat shoes just stuck in my head.

Hazy IPAs are refreshing, easy-drinking beers, so we thought the name Boat Shoes was a perfect fit for that style.

Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable wearing boat shoes? " Refreshing citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon combine with fruity aromas of mango and pineapple to waft from the glass.

Like the aroma, the taste is dominated by citrus flavors, followed by the sweetness of fruit and the strong bitterness of hops.

It has a medium body and a juicy, creamy taste, yet is crisp and clean to drink.

An easy-drinking hazy IPA with a lingering hop bitterness.
