I'm not putting "New Heights Style" in here as a label, and I'm not even going to put that name in the review title. I don't know what it's supposed to mean, and I even tried to read the can. Maybe they have an explanation on some really feature-rich, artistic site that lets everyone know how amazing the idea is and what they have coming down the pipe for more of the New Heights Beer Universe, but I'm not looking for it.
The beer is hazy enough, but I've seen hazier. If that is the modifier you are hanging your hat on, you have already lost. The yellow beer has a nice, white head that is going to leave some good lacing. Tropical and citrus fruits lay quietly under an almost botanical haze, and I am liking this beer already. Imagine how much I will like it once I actually start to drink it.
Bottom Line: When you want the heft of an IPA and the soft nature of a pale ale.

First sip is odd. I don't know why I normally associate juicy with hazy, but I do. This isn't that. The beverage is almost dry, and the fruits are all quite demure. It's so relaxed that I wonder if it really has much of a flavor at all. I just finished the sip, and I'm not sure, aside from the impression of fruits, what it tasted like. Did I like it? Do I want another? Who knows?!?
Tip-in is moderate carbonation and relaxed grapefruit. The middle of the beer is gentle and has a nice mixture of fruits in the center that aren't jagged and grating - they aren't attacking each other or me. The finish is slightly dry, and it even has a little tartness to go with the expected bitterness, but it's not dissuading me from having another gulp.
Bottom Line: When you want the heft of an IPA and the soft nature of a pale ale.
3.75/5
