“Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink”, says Coleridge in his classic poem “The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner”.* I say who needs water when you have a Hazy Mariner IPA. The Hazy Mariner is a cloudy IPA, and according to IX Poets there is “water, water everywhere, but this is full of hops.”
I really enjoyed this IPA, not that hoppy in my opinion. A nice easy drinking IPA that fits the bill for a hot summer day thirst quencher. And hot it was today.
It was walk on the sun hot, so this IPA hit the spot. How is that for some classic poetry. Maybe I can be the tenth poet?**
A bit cloudy hazy in the glass, but very easy drinking, no bitter, and just a bit hoppy. A frosty cold IPA like The Hazy Mariner on a hot day like today equals a super refreshing quaff. This is IX Poets first brew, I look forward to sampling more of their offerings.
