Double Mountain Turn The Haze Coming To Cans

Double Mountain Turn The Haze

Double Mountain Turn The Haze is getting a new package, and the Hood River, Oregon, brewery is bringing its hazy IPA to 16-ounce cans. The beer keeps its familiar 6.3% ABV and 30 IBU, so this is a packaging change rather than a new recipe announcement, but it gives fans another way to find and enjoy one of Double Mountain’s tropical, hop-forward beers.

That matters. Hazy IPA drinkers have plenty of choices these days, and breweries need to give people a reason to reach for their cans beyond a colorful label or a familiar style name. Double Mountain has taken a slightly different approach with Turn The Haze, describing it as a beer with dense tropical aromas, a soft mouthfeel and enough hop character to keep the beer tasting like beer instead of a fruit drink.

The new 16-ounce can design certainly gets attention. Bright yellow and black geometric patterns frame the oversized lettering, while the words “Turn The Haze” run across the center in a bold, almost psychedelic design. It fits the beer’s name, and the packaging looks built to stand out in a crowded cooler. The label also carries the brewery’s playful line, “What could possibly go wrong?” which feels right at home with the brewery’s informal personality.

But there is more to Double Mountain Turn The Haze than its can art.

Double Mountain describes this hazy IPA as a tropical beer with mango, Cara Cara orange and tropical resin up front, followed by green kiwi, guava and notes that bring to mind a rainforest. The brewery’s published beer details also point to ripe melon, pineapple and other tropical citrus aromas. It is a fruit-forward profile, but the beer is not meant to be sweet or heavy. Double Mountain emphasizes drinkability and a moderate bitterness, two traits that can get lost when hazy IPAs lean too far into thick, sugary flavors.

At 6.3% alcohol by volume, Double Mountain Turn The Haze sits in a comfortable range for a modern American hazy IPA. It has enough strength to carry the hop aroma and flavor, without pushing into the stronger territory of double IPAs. The 30 IBU rating also gives drinkers a useful reference point, although bitterness figures never tell the whole story of how an IPA will taste. Hop variety, yeast, malt and the timing of hop additions all shape the final impression.

Double Mountain’s published recipe details list Brewer’s Gold, Mosaic, Centennial and Citra in the kettle, with Ekuanot joining Brewer’s Gold, Mosaic and Citra in the dry hop. The malt bill includes pilsner malt, flaked oats, wheat and Carafoam, while the brewery uses a yeast strain it calls Juicy. That combination helps explain the beer’s soft texture and fruit-driven character, while the hop blend supplies citrus, tropical fruit and a little resinous edge.

Now the beer is moving into 16-ounce cans. The brewery has not announced additional distribution details in the information available for this release, so exact arrival dates and retail availability may vary by market. Still, the format gives retailers and customers another way to handle the beer, whether it lands in a cooler at a local shop or gets poured at home after a long day.

A fresh can is always welcome.

For Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery, Turn The Haze fits a broader lineup that includes hop-forward ales, lagers, seasonal releases and distinctive sour beers. The brewery has built its identity around beers with personality rather than simply chasing whatever style is getting the most attention. Turn The Haze is a good example: tropical, hazy and approachable, but still designed to have balance and a recognizable hop character.

The new cans make the beer easier to spot, and the core specifications remain the same. Look for Double Mountain Turn The Haze Hazy IPA in its 16-ounce format as availability develops, and keep an eye on the brewery’s official beer lineup for updates. For drinkers who enjoy a hazy IPA with mango, citrus, guava and a softer finish, this is one to watch.

About Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is an independent craft beverage producer based in Hood River, Oregon, known for its hop-forward beers, distinctive ales, hard cider and welcoming neighborhood taprooms. Since opening in 2007, the brewery has developed a following among Pacific Northwest beer drinkers who appreciate flavorful beer, thoughtful brewing and a relaxed approach to the craft beer experience.

The brewery was founded by Matt Swihart and Charlie Devereux, who met while working at Full Sail Brewing before deciding to build a brewery of their own. Their original idea was straightforward: make beer they wanted to drink, serve good food and create a place where the Hood River community could gather. That approach remains part of Double Mountain’s identity, with a lineup that ranges from classic styles to hop-driven IPAs, lagers, seasonal releases and complex sour ales.

Double Mountain’s beer selection reflects a willingness to work across styles without losing its own character. Its lineup includes Pilsner, India Red Ale, Black Irish and Vaporizer, alongside beers such as Turn The Haze Hazy IPA. Each brings a different balance of malt, hops, yeast and fermentation character, giving drinkers options beyond the familiar rotation of pale ales and hazy IPAs. The brewery also produces specialty sour beers, including fruit-focused releases that develop through extended aging.

Turn The Haze is a clear example of Double Mountain’s approach to modern IPA brewing. The hazy IPA is built around tropical fruit character, a soft mouthfeel and moderate bitterness. Its listed ingredients include Brewer’s Gold, Mosaic, Centennial, Citra and Ekuanot hops, supported by a malt bill featuring pilsner malt, flaked oats, wheat and Carafoam. At 6.3% ABV and 30 IBU, the beer aims for a balance between expressive hop flavor and drinkability. The move to 16-ounce cans gives the beer another packaged format while retaining its established specifications.

Double Mountain also has a strong connection to cider and the agricultural resources of the Hood River Valley. The company produces cider using heritage apples grown at its own Swihart Orchards and at nearby orchards. Rather than relying on sweetened, fruit-flavored cider, the brewery says it presses and ferments its cider in-house and does not add sugar or juice after fermentation to sweeten the finished product. The goal is to let the characteristics of the apples come through, with dry, crisp results that can vary according to the fruit used.

Environmental responsibility is another part of the company’s identity. Double Mountain has promoted refillable bottles as an alternative to single-use packaging, working with Oregon’s bottle-return infrastructure to reuse glass bottles. The brewery has also invested in solar power, including a large solar installation at its warehouse, and describes sustainability as an operating principle rather than simply a marketing message. Its focus on refillable packaging and reducing shipping materials reflects an effort to limit waste across its operations.

The brewery’s taproom experience extends beyond the beer list. Double Mountain serves New Haven-style pizza, sandwiches and other food alongside its beer and cider, with live music and trivia at its locations. The Hood River brewery and taproom is joined by Portland taprooms in the Woodstock and Overlook neighborhoods, allowing the company to serve both its home community and Portland-area drinkers.

For craft beer fans following Oregon breweries, Double Mountain offers a mix of familiar beer styles, experimental releases, house-made cider and a community-focused pub atmosphere. Its identity is grounded in brewing flavorful beer, making food worth sharing and maintaining a connection to the region where the business began. From hop-forward releases like Turn The Haze to traditional lagers and long-aged sour ales, Double Mountain continues to offer a varied lineup shaped by its Pacific Northwest roots.
