Drink Beer pick of the week: Hazed and Infused

Hazed and Infused
Boulder Beer Company
Boulder, Colorado
4.85% ABV
Boulder Beer Company, Colorado’s first microbrewery, has just moved into the Atlanta market, and this is their flagship beer, a dry-hopped American Pale Ale with a big hop bite. It pours a lovely auburn-brown and is not particularly hazy. The aroma is like a Christmas tree lot — resiny and sweet, with a hint of ginger spice in the air. The taste is a full-on, juicy hop fest, with piney, flowery, and soapy hops riding atop a barely perceptible woody, biscuity malt body. Round, and smooth upfront, the Hazed seems more confused than infused in the finish, with a grainy, phenolic astringency that is off-putting. Hopheads will want to give it a try, but others may find the flavors to be too chaotic.
