The story of Macs Apparition HIPA 12x330C

Apparition is the hazy side of Mac's, the Nelson brand whose first beer was launched on 26 September 1981. Lion bought the Mac's brand in 1999, and the range today includes Slim Hazy and Hazy Showboat alongside this 5.4% hazy IPA.

The name is the joke. The brewer promises a supernaturally fruity burst of tropical and citrus flavour followed by an eerily smooth finish. Mac's tags it as easy drinking and full flavoured, which is a fair summary of a hazy IPA that does not ask for a trained palate. Nothing about it needs decoding: tropical fruit, citrus and a soft landing.

Soft, fruity beers like this cope well with spice and sweetness. Chicken satay with peanut sauce, a Thai-style beef salad or a plate of nachos with lime and coriander all suit it. The pack is twelve 330ml cans, easy to split across a long table.
