Speights Summer Haze is a captivating hazy IPA that transports you to the sun-drenched South Island of New Zealand. Brewed by the renowned Speights Brewery, this beer boasts a vibrant golden hue and a dense, creamy head that lingers throughout the sip. The aroma is a delightful explosion of juicy citrus notes, particularly grapefruit and orange peel, complemented by hints of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and a subtle floral undertone. This harmonious blend of fruity aromas sets the stage for the beer's flavor profile. On the palate, Summer Haze delivers a refreshing burst of tangy citrus, which is beautifully balanced by a touch of tropical fruit sweetness. The juicy hops contribute a moderate bitterness that lingers on the tongue, adding a pleasant complexity to the overall flavor. The medium-bodied nature of the beer offers a smooth and rounded mouthfeel, with a subtle haze that enhances the creamy texture, providing a satisfying weightiness without being overly heavy.
