Delivering pithy and zesty grapefruit notes, floral and herbal tones, and dashes of tropical fruit and apricot, Hazed &amp; Infused satisfies one\u2019s craving for hop flavor while keeping the bitterness restrained.<\/p>\n<p>Through the technique of dry-hopping, in which hops are added directly to the fermenter, Boulder allows the fragrant aroma and flavor compounds to \u201cinfuse\u201d the beer without adding extra bitterness. So, we end up with a hoppy pale ale that tastes great while being less aggressive on the palate than an IPA, and at just 5% ABV, more sessionable too.<\/p>\n<p>If you know someone who says they don\u2019t like hoppy beers because they find IPAs too abrasive, Hazed &amp; Infused might just bring them around.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<br \/>\nBrett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unfiltered, amberish, American-style pale ale dry-hopped with a dynamic duo of Centennial and Crystal hops.
