Lucky Saint Hazy IPA Review
Following the massive success of their unfiltered lager, Lucky Saint has expanded their core range with a highly anticipated Hazy IPA. Clocking in at 0.5% ABV, this pour aims to capture the juicy, hop-forward magic of a modern New England style IPA, and it absolutely delivers.
In the glass, it pours a beautifully opaque, pale straw-golden color with a dense, frothy white head that holds its ground. The aroma hits you immediately upon pouring—bursting with stone fruit, passionfruit, and bright citrus zest from a generous blend of premium hops.
On the palate, the mouthfeel is where Lucky Saint truly triumphs. Hazy IPAs require a certain body and softness so they don’t taste like thin hop-water, and the addition of wheat and oats gives this beer a remarkably smooth, pillowy texture. The flavor is a masterful balance of juicy tropical sweetness and a clean, crisp bitterness that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Overall, Lucky Saint Hazy IPA sets a new benchmark for alcohol-free craft beers. It satisfies the cravings of dedicated craft beer fans while remaining accessible, incredibly refreshing, and easy to drink for anyone looking to cut back on alcohol.
Best Served & Pairing
Best served:
Serve chilled straight from the fridge in a proper craft beer or tulip glass to allow the vibrant tropical hop aromas to fully open up.
Pairing recommendation:
Pairs excellently with spicy food, tacos, Thai curries, grilled meats, and classic pub fare. Its juicy profile also cuts beautifully through rich or fried foods.
