HAZE

Pale Ale – 5.5 Gal - OG 1.051 – FG 1.010– ABV 5.3% - IBU 40 – SRM 4

We LOVE hazy IPAs here at KJ, and we’re not alone. More and more breweries are making super juicy, hop forward beers. Hell, we have 3-4 recipes that are all like that. One thing all of these delicious hazy beers have in common is their high ABV. They tend to range from 6.5-8.5%, but sometimes you simply don’t want a beer with that much booze in it. Enter HAZE, designed and brewed by our very own Jeremy Morris. HAZE has the same super juicy, hop forward notes of NEIPAs but in a sessionable package. Registering in at 5.3%, it is just that bit lighter from its bigger hazy brothers.

It’s a very simple recipe, with just 6 ingredients: Maris Otter, Flaked Wheat, Acidulated Malt, Citra, Ebbegarden Kveik and Water! The high amount of flaked wheat, along with the addition of calcium chloride at mashing lends to this almost glowing level of haze in the finished product. Our staff have had it on tap at home for 3 weeks as of this writing as it is as hazy as the day it was kegged.
