Baylands Brewery's Hazy Hop Bomb #4 is a captivating New England-style pale ale that invites you on a flavorful journey. This beer's deeply opaque golden hue is complemented by a billowing white foam that clings to the glass, creating a visually striking appearance. The aroma is an intense fruit explosion, with tropical notes of pineapple, mango, and grapefruit, along with a citrusy zestiness from lime and orange. Subtle undertones of pine resin and earthy hops add depth and complexity to the bouquet. The taste is full-bodied and creamy, with a soft, luscious mouthfeel. The sweet and juicy hop character delivers a burst of tropical fruits, balanced by a moderate bitterness that lingers on the tongue. Hints of grapefruit and pine complement the fruitiness, creating a delightful and well-rounded flavor profile. The finish is dry, refreshing, and slightly tangy, with a lingering aftertaste of ripe mango and citrus zest. Hazy Hop Bomb #4 is a beautifully crafted NEIPA that showcases the juicy, fruit-forward characteristics of the style. Its opaque appearance, intense hop aroma, and velvety texture make it a delightful treat for hop lovers, while its balanced bitterness and relatively high ABV make it approachable and easy to enjoy.
