Little Bang Brewing Undercover Fashion Police

After unleashing more sequels than even the most shameless of Hollywood studios or video game producers, Little Bang decided it was time for their evolving NEIPA to park up the motor and take up residency in their year-round lineup instead. In doing so, the Undercover Fashion Police they settled upon sits at a very approachable 5.1 percent ABV and is tagged a hazy pale ale.

That said, the alcohol content might be down compared to most of the limited release versions (which have ventured as high as 9.1 percent ABV) but lessons learned over the many iterations shows. From the solid yellow-orange haze through the fruity aromas that are equal parts fleshy, pithy and various stages of ripe to a palate that’s rounded yet with enough of an oily bitterness and edge not to be flabby. After all, given it's enjoyed so many blasts around the block, you'd expect it to be well-honed.
