Summer’s coming and American craft brewers are addressing things with sensational new beers you’re gonna want to have around as things heat up.

Haze Daze (Hershey, PA) – Tröegs Independent Brewing has released something interesting, a beer that combines the clean, crisp bitterness of a West Coast IPA with the softness of a hazy India Pale Ale. Envisioned as a companion to the brewery’s popular Perpetual IPA, Tröegs Perpetual Haze is a 7.5% ABV Hazy India Pale Ale with a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel thanks to London 3 yeast and a grain bill featuring a blend of malted barley and raw wheat.

“We took the DNA of Perpetual IPA and made some slight changes to the malt,” explains Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner. “The big differences are in the timing of the hops and a change in the yeast. Front and center are Citra and Cashmere, a hop combination that coaxes juicy notes of orange, passionfruit, and nectarine.”
