Review: Almanac LOVE Hazy IPA – A Tropical Hug in a Can
Almanac Beer Co.’s LOVE Hazy IPA is an absolute delight, living up to its name and then some. From the moment you crack open the can, you’re greeted with an explosion of vibrant, tropical aromas that promise a truly juicy experience.
Poured into a glass, it displays a beautifully hazy, golden-orange hue, reminiscent of a sunset over a fruit orchard. The head is thick and persistent, releasing even more of those alluring hop notes.
The first sip is pure bliss. This IPA is incredibly smooth and remarkably soft on the palate, with virtually no bitterness. Instead, your taste buds are enveloped in a wave of lush, ripe tropical fruit flavors. I picked up prominent notes of mango, passionfruit, and a hint of sweet citrus, all perfectly balanced and interwoven. It’s “lush” and “juicy” just as advertised on the can.
What truly sets LOVE Hazy IPA apart is its drinkability. At 6.1% ABV, it’s sessionable enough for a lazy afternoon, yet complex enough to satisfy even the most discerning IPA lover. The dry-hopping with Sabro and Citra hops shines through, contributing to that incredible aroma and a subtly creamy, almost coconut-like finish from the Sabro.
This is a beer that truly makes you feel good. It’s bright, refreshing, and incredibly flavorful without being heavy or cloying. If you’re a fan of the New England IPA style or just looking for a deliciously approachable and fruit-forward beer, Almanac’s LOVE Hazy IPA is an absolute must-try. It’s a tropical hug in a can, perfect for sharing with friends or savoring solo.
