About this deal

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. 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.

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 I poured it directly out of the refrigerator so it was still very cold. I think this added to the appealing flavor it had. While some beers are better closer to room temperature, most New England IPAs seem to be best cold. 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. 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.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. 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.

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.Is Hazy Jane hazy then? Well, actually… of course it is. It has a straw hue and there’s no visible particles. This mix of ingredients – including the lactose, which survives fermentation – means Hazy Jane has more calories, carbs and sugar than Brewdog’s low-calorie NA beers, “ Nanny State” and “ Raspberry Blitz“. This beer is supposed to be very cloudy. Don’t be shy to get a good bit of the hot break into the fermenter. 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 Imperial Hazy Jane pours with a plump and hazy gold before building a frothy white crown. A host of tropical, citrus and stone fruit fills the nose along with an herbal complement of floral arrangements, dankness and vegetal spice. A creamy sweet maltiness graces the tongue with hints of vanilla, coconut and shortcake in a starchy-sweet upstart.

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. I see no reason why the demand for New England IPAs will fade. But supply will increase as more and more breweries brew them. 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. In early 2018, BrewDog’s forward march collided with the growing popularity of hazy IPAs. Naturally, they introduced a New England IPA titled Hazy Jane, an unfiltered, opaque IPA that would be available throughout its distribution network. Interestingly, though, the beer wasn’t brewed in Scotland, but in BrewDog’s Ohio location. Part of BrewDog’s year-round lineup, Hazy Jane is a stalwart offering from the UK brewery earning acclaim stateside and abroad. BrewDog nailed it with Hazy Jane. This is exactly what I have come to expect from a New England IPA.

Have You Tried Hazy Jane? Do You Think It’s As Good As Other New England IPAs?

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. 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. Jane just got a lot bigger. BrewDog gives their hazy lady a plump makeover by boosting the alcohol to nine percent and accepts the flavors, body and strength that comes along with it.
