Hideout Hazy IPA

ABV 6%

Buckle Down Brewing out of Lyons, IL brings us this hazy IPA. Anytime I am in another state I always make it a goal to bring home samples from local breweries. I picked this one up in a recent trip to Chicago. The beer pours a mostly clear orange color (so not so hazy as the name implied) with a very frothy head formation. Light orange and citrus aromas. The beer is very light in body with very mild orange flavor. The label mentions that orange and vanilla were added to this brew. I did not notice the vanilla. Typically I avoid beers that say that they added fruit to their product as it seems to never turn out as good as it sounds. This beer simply proved my thought process. There was not much going on with this brew. It was not a bad beer but certainly not exciting either.

Rating 7.6
