Hazy AF takes the NEIPA template and applies it to low-alcohol brewing. Oats and wheat give the mouthfeel a softness you do not usually get at 0.5%, and lactose adds a faint creamy sweetness that rounds out the hop character rather than fighting it. Note: contains lactose, so not vegan. The aroma is immediately juicy: grapefruit and mango up front, with lemon, pine, and bready malt underneath. The hop combination, Cascade, Chinook, Citra, and Simcoe, reads tropical and citrus-forward without tipping into artificial sweetness. On the palate, light cereal grain from the wheat and oats underpins a grassy, spiced bitterness with citrus and stone fruit coming through. The finish is medium-dry with pale malt and grapefruit lingering. A well-executed hazy in the AF category.
