Product details

New England IPAs have certainly gained traction as a mainstay of the craft beer scene. The hazy light color and massive amount of late-addition hops create a delicious beer oozing with hop flavor and aroma. Now, it’s time up the ante, and this deck is stacked. Eight unique ingredients, just over eight percent ABV and bursting with massive flavors and aromas of tangerine, orange, pineapple, mango, slightly resinous pine, and sweet hard candy makes Hazy Eights an unbeatable play.

Brewing Notes

  • Style: Double NE IPA
  • Fermentation Range: 64-74 F
  • Original Gravity: 1.078
  • SRM: 4
  • IBUs: 53
  • ABV: 8.3%

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Faint bready malt notes overshadowed by hop aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, pear, and subdued resinous pine.
  • Appearance: Medium to bright orange color with significant haziness. Tight bright white foam head with lasting stability.
  • Flavor: Medium-low soft malt flavors of fresh multi-grain bread play a secondary role to huge hop and yeast-derived flavors of orange, mango, pineapple. Moderate bitterness is well balanced by the slightly sweet malt flavors that linger upon swallowing.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium body with medium-high creaminess and mouthfeel. Very smooth and soft on the palate with a silky finish.

Brewmaster Brad’s Notes:

“Now that the New England IPA style is around to stay, there is but one way to go with it - make it stronger! Loosely based on our popular Fruit Bazooka NE IPA kit, Hazy Eights Double NE IPA is a real ass-kicker. The combination of Amarillo® and El Dorado provides a spectrum of citrus and tropical fruit flavors, while the modest dose of Idaho 7 hops rounds out the fruity flavor profile and adds a little resinous pine note to make things even more interesting. Brewed with the lightest malts around and a slug of simple corn sugar, this beer will maintain as light of a color as possible, while still fermenting to over 8% ABV. Despite the simple sugar addition, oats and wheat malt help to maintain a smooth, creamy body and create a tight, dense, and lasting foam head.”

Beer was great

Directions for this kit should be revisited as they were kind of ambiguous in places

Slighty altered recipe

Very pleased with the taste and turnout with this first time recipe even though I slightly altered it. I used two yeast strains (LalBrew New England American East Coast Ale Yeast & LalBrew Pomona - Modern Hybrid IPA Yeast). My brew size was also a little larger coming in at just under 6 gallons and that was due to my steeping of oats on the stove in a separate kettle- (it was a windy day and I wasn't interested in fighting temp control for 20 minutes with the big kettle on my propane burner. The boil in the big kettle was only 10 minutes. I did everything else as I normally do (amount of water in the kettle and the boil) As a result, my overall yield was the typical and expected 5 gallon with the over looked additional gallon I added from the steeped oats kettle. Regardless, F.G. was not a little higher than expected (perhaps due to increased volume and yeast strains used?) coming in at just under 7% ABV.
That said, the color is as expected, foam was tight as expected, mouthfeel maybe a little lighter than I expected, and but taste was absolutely fine- a lot of citrus notes and the absence of bitters was a pleasant surprise. Overall, a very enjoyable brew, and I will try it again, but I think I will stick with one yeast strain next time just to see.

Awesome Beer

I guess I didn't realize that this was a NEIPA recipe until I drank it. The wheat addition threw me off, but the El Dorado and Amarillo hops really make this beer a citrusy perfect beer. I make my own NEIPA that showcases those hops and this recipe was very close. The flavor will mask the high ABV, so be careful1

This is a very tasty beer. Make sure to use the larger volume fermenter.
