Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA Review

Sierra Nevada's take on the hazy IPA pours a cloudy golden orange and has tropical fruit aromas — mango, pineapple, and ripe citrus — that carry onto the palate with impressive sessionability. Its medium-light mouthfeel is just enough — no more, no less — to carry the citrusy fruit and subtle grain flavor into definite “juicy” territory — proving that the bi-coastal brewer can flex its enduring expertise with hops in this relatively new hazy IPA trend, and do it with remarkable consistency. Hazy Little Thing is available in all 50 states — a triumph in shelf stability, and a testament to Sierra Nevada's enduring legacy as a leader in all things hoppy.

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA Pros And Cons

Pros
  • One of the only nationally available hazy IPAs
  • From an historic brewer
  • Bold profile
Cons
  • Not as fruity as other craft hazy IPAs
  • Some craft beer drinkers may consider it to be “mass market”
