Description
Hazy Like a Fox features a blend of pale malt, oats, wheat, flaked barley and milk sugar for a pillowy mouthfeel. It pours pale gold with an opaque haze. A double dry hop creates waves of pineapple and tangerine aromatics that compliment soft, juicy orange and tangerine notes which delight the palate.

Hazy Like a Fox by New Realm Brewing is a New England IPA, judged as BJCP Category 21B Specialty IPA.
Grapefruit, lemon, pine and resin make up this beer’s potent aroma and are classic badges of the IPA style set. It pours a turbid yellow color with dense, white head. Its flavors are bright and resemble grapefruit and orange, with a dose of hop resin. Bitterness is moderately high. The mouthfeel is soft yet crisp, with moderately-high carbonation. All of this should sound familiar, because this beer breaks no new ground. It’s missing the juiciness and hallmark late hop character of the best NEIPAs. Still, it is well brewed and fits the bill.
