Elysian Full Contact Imperial Haze IPA - 6-Pack Cans

Washington- Hazy / New England Style IPA - 8.8% ABV. This beer presents a cloudy, straw-gold glow with a bright, frothy head that clings to the glass. On the nose, it bursts with a refreshing citrus twist: ruby red grapefruit shines first, followed by the brightness of orange juice from Valencia and Valencia-leaning navels. There’s a punchy fruit core that leans toward plum and yellow nectarine, creating a fragrant, tropical-leaning bouquet that feels both juicy and vibrant. Subtle herbal notes weave through the aroma, adding complexity, while faint hints of cannabis lend a delicate, aromatic edge that mirrors the hazy style without overwhelming the fruit character.

In the mouth, this NEIPA delivers a silky, pillowy mouthfeel typical of the style, with a soft, rounded body and a refreshing, slightly low-to-mid bitterness that lets the fruit-forward profile take center stage. The hop character is lush and juicy, bringing tropical and citrus tones that echo the nose—grapefruit zest, orange peel, and sun-kissed stone fruit—balanced by a clean malt backbone that provides just enough sweetness to support the funk and haze. There's a gentle resinous finish that lingers with dried citrus peel and a whisper of herbal spice, inviting another sip.

Overall, a harmoniously hazy IPA that showcases vibrant fruit, crisp aroma, and a well-integrated strength that drinks smoothly at 8.8% ABV. Perfect as a refreshing, aromatic pour or a pairing with bright, citrusy dishes. Serve cool for maximum citrus and hop aroma.
