Hazed and Infused is an American Pale Ale.

^which is somewhat akin to a "light IPA" I suppose. But although I love hops and IPAs, I am annoyed by pales. But Hazed and infused was enjoyable. I think it's better than the typical pale. Maybe like Shred said, it has more malt presence, which might put it closer to an ESB. I better go get some so I can talk from experience.

Definitely in my top 5 breweries in the USA, maybe even #1. I have been sitting on my Creme Brulee for a few weeks now. Ill get to it this weekend.

I agree that ST is one of the best. I've always been impressed by their beer.

For those who aren't aware yet, beeradvocate.com is the premier beer website there is. It's a great resource. It has helped me discover aspects of a beer that i did not realize, especially when I was not well versed in the complexities of well made craft beer.

Hazed and Infused is an American Pale Ale.

While that... may... be true, it's far unlike any APA or IPA I've ever tasted in my life, but I haven't tried hundreds or different beers yet I don't think. I think it's a very unique beer.

Also, try the Butthead.

Anyone dig Lapin Kulta?

i hate hoppy beers

Same here. I picked up Berghoff Pale Ale on a whim and it was awful. Count me out on IPA's toouke:

ipa's are the worst!

i find it funny, on those sam adams commercials they brag about how much hops they use. that just tells me to avoid their beers. though the sam adams white ale is pretty good

[Belligerent]

Sam Adams Light and the Spring Ale are the only ones i like.
tbh the Spring Ale is the best beer i've ever tried.

Hoegaarden was my best friend last night.

Hoegaarden was my best friend last night.

Good shit huh?

 

[KMADD]

Hmm i like Cherry Wheat from Sam Adams and their Triple Bock.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Sam Adam's White Ale is fucking amazing. One of my favorite beers. It's unfiltered as well. I think the Summer Ale is great, but nowhere near as good as the White Ale.

 

[AchrisK]

Had a Hazed and Infused tonight, to refresh my memory. They call it a dry hopped ale, and yeah, it's a hoppy brew. More hoppy than any pale ale I've tried. It's very like an IPA, but not quite as intense.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Good shit huh?

Yes sir. It was my best friend last night too.

 

[IWP]

Most beer taste like shit. I prefer liquor and whiskey.

 

[genocide roach]

i thought that too, until i had good beer
~gR~

 

[IWP]

Which is?......

read the thread! plenty of great beers discussed. but here are my favorites:

bristol brewery- laughing lab
new belgium brewery- 1554
blue moon brewery- rising moon
sam adams- white ale
rock bottom- peaked wheat

the ones in bold are probably easier for you to find. but seriously, just read the thread and try a few. or just start in the craft beer section of your local liquor shop and pick some.

dark ales are easier to drink IMO. smoother and more flavorful than bud and coors.
