To get a little bit more specific, the main component making up the haze in your IPA is grain protein. Along with grain protein from wheat and barley, there can also be solid compounds from hop oils (called polyphenols) and even starch from oats if a brewer decides to use them.Sep 7, 2021
Are juicy and hazy IPAs the same?
The meaning of Juicy IPA is a little bit more hazy (pun intended). Not all Juicy IPA's are hazy nor are all IPA's juicy. An IPA can be juicy but crystal clear in apperance. The term "Juicy" refers to the aroma and taste of the beer.
Why are hazy IPAs so popular?
But a Hazy IPA is far more than looks. The careful planning of malt and hops, along with less filtering before packaging, yields a beer with lower perceived bitterness than other IPAs and hop character that's decidedly fruity—you'll often hear “juicy” as a flavor descriptor, like a tasty bite of ripe citrus.
What is the difference between a Hazy IPA and regular IPA?
Visually, the difference between a hazy IPA and an American-style IPA is clear—precisely because one of them is not at all clear. It's the cloudy opaqueness that gives hazy IPAs their name.
