Production & Heritage
Jester King Brewery sits on a 40-acre ranch roughly 18 miles west of downtown Austin, Texas. Originally celebrated for its mixed-culture wild ales and barrel-aged farmhouse beers, the brewery has expanded into a clean beer program focused on highly expressive IPAs brewed with the same meticulous attention to ingredient selection. Sasha Hazy IPA is built on a grain bill of Pilsner malt, oat, and wheat, then hopped hot side with hand-selected Simcoe, Motueka, and Mosaic. The beer is double dry-hopped with Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Motueka hop kief, and finished with Citra Hyperboost and Motueka Hop Kief — a technique that strips away plant matter to isolate concentrated lupulin oils and resins, resulting in a cleaner, more intense aromatic payload than conventional pellet or whole-cone dry-hopping.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Layered aromatics of ripe mango, pineapple, and nectarine open first, followed by bright citrus peel. Subtle herbal and floral hop nuances emerge underneath, with a delicate piney, resinous quality rounding out the nose.
Taste: The entry is plush and smooth, carried by the oat and wheat backbone, delivering saturated tropical fruit and ripe stone fruit flavors. Tangerine and fresh lime zest push through at mid-palate, giving way to gentle apricot and a restrained grapefruit spritz. Earthy, grassy hop notes add depth without overwhelming the fruit-forward core.
Finish: Dry and clean with a lingering but balanced bitterness that invites the next sip. The hop character stays vivid through the finish without heavy residual sweetness.
How to Drink Sasha Hazy
Pour Sasha into a tulip or stemless IPA glass at 40–45°F to let the hop aromatics fully express. This beer is best consumed fresh and unfiltered straight from the can or a clean pour. For cocktail-adjacent serves, try a Beer-mosa — the mango and pineapple notes pair naturally with fresh orange juice at brunch. A Michelada build using Sasha adds tropical complexity to the classic savory-lime framework. A Shandy made with fresh-squeezed lemonade amplifies the citrus peel character while softening the bitterness for warm-weather drinking.

Why Sasha Hazy?
What separates Sasha from the crowded DDH Hazy IPA field is the deliberate use of hop kief — concentrated lupulin glands stripped from the hop cone — which delivers a purer, more aromatic payload than standard pellet or whole-cone dry-hopping. Jester King’s farmhouse heritage means even their clean beer program carries a level of intentionality and ingredient sourcing uncommon in the category. The five-hop blend of Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Motueka creates a layered tropical profile that avoids the one-note juice bomb trap many hazies fall into. Brewed on a working ranch in the Texas Hill Country and backed by a 90-point BeerAdvocate rating, Sasha earns its reputation through process and restraint rather than hype alone.
