Rogue Batsquatch Hazy IPA Review
"Sunset" comes to mind while pouring this cloudy IPA. A gold gradient begins deep orange at the base of the pour, gradually lightening to yellow at the top, like a Mimosa or Bellini that's settled in the glass over a lengthy brunch. Tropical fruit aromas are laid on thick, with orange, peach, and passionfruit jumping out right away. The body feels a bit heavy, belying its 6.7 percent ABV, which poses a challenge for those angling for a second pint. However, it delivers on being hazy, fruity, and slightly boozy, which is reason enough for many to indulge in another.
