Shaggin’ Wagon Hazy IPA

ABV 7.2%

Another impressive winner from 50 West Brewing Company. Just a few posts ago, I reviewed a tier two brew from 50 West that rated very highly now we have this tier one brew from them that hits all the right notes. [Reminder: I define tier one beers as those beers that a brewery makes in larger quantity to make the base of their income (made first = tier one). These tend to come in six packs and are usually found in your local grocery store. Tier two beers usually come in four packs and are “specialty” beers that are usually found in craft beer stores] For a tier one beer, this one is particularly good. The brew has a lovely dense orange color in the glass with a nice head formation and distinct tropical nose. The flavors are juicy and fresh with pineapple and papaya up front and just enough hoppy goodness to balance it out. A very nice beer
