Hazy IPA

Local amateur artist Naomi Benham provides us with the unique artwork for our 14th rendition of this popular Hazy IPA. In 1970 the most photographed nuclear explosion in history took place. That test, codenamed by the French “Licorne” (which translates as “Unicorn”), was a 914 Kiloton explosion carried out by suspending a nuclear device from a balloon filled with helium then detonating it 500 meters above ground. The resulting mushroom cloud and after effects were described as both “scary and stupendously beautiful” and photos of the explosion display the oxymoronic equipoise of it’s destructive elegance. This Hazy IPA envelopes you with a soft mouthfeel, aroma, and flavor while delicately floating in the space between hoppy and fruity. This version is dominated by Nelson, Riwaka, Moutere, Motueka, and Citra, and was brewed with oats to create a smooth and creamy finish. When Able Baker Brewing was founded, we began to chase seemingly unattainable dreams, now several years later, we hope this mythical brew helps you slowly rise to meet your dreams......... and chase unicorns
See ya soon! 🍻
