Sensory Description:

Hazy Rays pours a radiant golden hue, crowned with a frothy white head and a gentle opacity true to the hazy IPA style. On the nose, an explosion of sun-kissed citrus—tangerine, clementine, and mandarin orange—leaps from the glass, courtesy of the Citra and Mandarina Bavaria hop blend. The palate delivers juicy orange fruit and a hint of soft pine, all carried by a pillowy mouthfeel that’s light and quaffable. With minimal bitterness and a softly rounded texture, this is an IPA built for ease and enjoyment, finishing bright and balanced.
