Pool Party Haze - New England IPA

Pool parties are a phenomenon that we mainly know from American films and series Rich teenagers invite large groups of their extensive circle of friends to hang out at their parents' pool on hot afternoons You can see hip cliques lounging on inflatable swimming animals, sipping colorful cocktails, pushing each other into the azure blue water, posing on loungers in designer swimwear, snacking on watermelon, throwing balls back and forth while making fun of their classmates

Less elitist is the version of a pool party that the Novo Brazil brewery from California has come up with: Their latest Hazy IPA is called Pool Party Haze and provides us with the perfect drink for a relaxing afternoon by the pool, lake, river or paddling pool The brew brings a light and fluffy 5.5% alcohol content to the glass and delivers a refreshing blend of juicy citrus notes and spicy hops A velvety soft texture rounds off the enjoyment experience harmoniously

Pool Party Haze flows into the glass in a delicately cloudy old gold color and forms a fine head that is rather fleeting in nature Notes of freshly mown grass combine in the nose with sun-ripened citrus fruit and a hint of tropical fruit - a mixture that is also reflected in the taste: Grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, peach, pine tips, grass and green hop cones create a palatable bouquet
