Sixpoint Brewery's Hazy IPA. Label approved 14 September 2019.

Stronger than 95% of the 978 Hazy IPA labels we've read.

From the label

“Believe us: the MELTDOWN is really here. It's happening as we speak...even inside this can. We liquified the solid lupulin sap from TONS of hop cones to extract the juice—changing states of matter to change your state of mind. You can't ignore it anymore. Hop resin now totally saturates the liquid and a thick haze starts to form. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you...that's seriously pure hop juice oozing out of the can. Enough to melt your face! THIS UNFILTERED BEER POURS SUPER HAZY FROM AN ABUNDANCE OF JUICY DRY-HOPS. PLEASE KEEP REFRIGERATED.”
