Behemoth Brain Smiles Hazy Pale Ale

I love that this beer pulls off a big beer with a low (for a hazy) ABV. It's written on the can that that's what they were trying for - a massive hoppy hazy NEIPA with a lower than typical ABV (note it's still 5.4% so still not exactly a light beer), but with a full delicious flavour that in no way brings the word "light" to mind. Often "big" beers with lower ABVs tend to lose their body and end up feeling a bit empty even if they're super-hopped, but this yeller can of yum delivers a massive full big beer that screams hops, has the "juiciness" typical of a hazy with the thick smoothness of the oats and wheat (I don't know for a fact that either of these in the mash, I'm just guessing). 

Real yum hazy, and I'll definitely be having more of these.
