Life in the Clouds Hazy IPA

Life in the Clouds Hazy IPA is a New England-style IPA born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario by the prolific beer wizards at Collective Arts Brewing. It’s a 6.1% jobby sold in stylish 473mL cans. A cloudy orange potion with a thick layer of off-white foam, this brew has a luscious tropical aroma.

LitC has a rich, fruity taste, with berry and candied mango notes. It’s extremely sweet, but with a bit of a bitter streak at the back end.

My take on this brew is that it was enjoyable and flavourful, but it could have used some heavier emphasis on bitterness. It’s a touch too sweet, though the fruitiness is definitely agreeable. A juicy ale, indeed, and one I’ll likely buy again soon.
