What is White Ferrari beer?

White Ferrari is a beer made by The Veil Brewing Co. in Richmond, Virginia. It is a hazy India pale ale, the soft, cloudy, juicy kind of IPA that has become one of the most talked-about styles in craft beer over the last decade.

People search for it by name because Veil is a brewery that beer fans follow closely. When someone hears about a particular can, they want to know where to find it, and that is usually what is behind this search.

If you are here for that specific can, the quickest way to know what is on our shelves is to use the search bar on the site or to ask at the shop. Stock changes, and a person at the counter can tell you what is in today.

If you are here because you like the style, the rest of this page is for you. There is a lot of good hazy IPA to choose from, and our beer section is the place to browse it.

What does a hazy IPA taste like?

A hazy IPA, often called a New England IPA, is brewed to put hop aroma and flavor first and bitterness second. The hops are added late and in large amounts, which pulls out fruity, citrusy and tropical notes without the sharp bite of an older West Coast style.

The haze itself comes from the grain bill, the yeast and the way the hops are used. Oats and wheat are common, and the beer is usually not filtered clear. The result is a fuller, softer feel in the mouth.

Think orange, grapefruit, mango, pineapple or stone fruit on the nose, and a smooth finish. If you have enjoyed a juicy IPA before, you know the profile. If you have not, this is a friendly place to start for anyone who finds a traditional IPA too bitter.

You can browse the whole family in our IPA category, or go straight to New England IPA if the hazy style is what you want.

What if you want something stronger or more bitter?

Not every IPA drinker wants the soft hazy style, and not every hazy IPA is the same strength. Our shelves are organized so you can move around the family.

For a bigger, bolder beer, look at Imperial IPA. These are brewed with more malt and more hops and are usually higher in alcohol, so they suit slower sipping.

For something with a more classic bite, try American IPA, which tends to be clearer and more bitter than the hazy kind. If you want something lighter, Session IPA keeps the hop character at a lower strength.

There is also a Specialty IPAs category for the ones that do not fit neatly anywhere else.

How do you serve and keep hazy IPA?

Hazy IPAs are at their best fresh. Hop aroma fades over time, so a beer is generally better drunk sooner than later. Check the date on the can and keep it cold from the shop to the fridge.

Serve it cold but not frozen, around 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Too cold and you mute the aroma that makes the style worth drinking. A clean glass with some room at the top lets the smell come through.

Leave the cans upright in the fridge. Sediment and yeast can settle, and a gentle pour is better than a rough one if you want a smooth glass.

For food, hazy IPA works with spicy dishes, tacos, burgers, fried chicken and sharp cheeses. The fruit in the hops balances heat well.
