Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing (355ml)

A hugely popular product that is arguably the flagship Hazy IPA. A golden, cloudy liquid releases a juicy, tropical fruit, peach, and citrus-like flavor.

"Hazy Little Thing IPA" is an unfiltered, hazy hop bomb of an IPA (Note).

One of the privileges of a brewer is being able to taste the beer directly from the tank during production.

Many beers need further refinement after leaving the tank, but some do not.

Sierra Nevada wanted to share this unique brewery experience with more people, and thus this unfiltered, pure IPA was born.

A hazy golden liquid.

The aroma reveals tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus, fresh grass, and malt notes.

The flavor is full of juicy fruit notes, with a hint of sweetness and a mild bitterness, creating a well-rounded finish.

Note: In 2016, "Hazy" pale ales and IPAs, characterized by their cloudy appearance and juiciness, became a huge trend.

The main characteristic of these beers, which originated in the New England region of the northeastern United States, is their "cloudiness."

Some people might associate cloudy beer with poor quality, but in reality, the pale ales and IPAs we commonly drink were originally cloudy.

The reason a beautiful, clear liquid appears when poured into a glass is that the fine impurities that make the beer cloudy are filtered out during the brewing process.

While "impurities" might be a misleading term, they are actually yeast used in the brewing process and residual hops.

Of course, if they remain for too long, they can darken the beer's color and even alter its taste. However, filtering, while removing these, also causes a very slight loss of the fruity hop aroma, which is part of the appeal of pale ales and IPAs.

By not filtering, these East Coast style beers offer a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, reduced hop bitterness, and instead provide a tropical, juicy sweetness much like fruit juice.
