To celebrate turning one, Smiley Brewing skipped the birthday cake (OK, they might have had some of that too) and went for a 1st Birthday Hazy IPA. It's a fitting beer for such an occasion, thanks to its layered and multi-directional hop notes.
Indeed, one second you might think you're drinking orange juice, then that disappears into passionfruit before mango arrives. Then it seems we’re back in citrus territory, but this time it’s zesty lime or orange, while a touch of coconut and fresh gooseberry joins in too. Happy first birthday, Smiley, and cheers to many more to come!
