Supernatural Being Hazy IPA: HOD x Deadman

Ever wondered what happens when two breweries from different corners of Southeast Asia decide to get a little… supernatural? Meet the Supernatural Being Hazy IPA, a collab between Heart of Darkness Brewery (Vietnam) and Deadman Brewery (Hong Kong). This limited-edition hazy IPA is a juicy, citrusy experiment that’s as fun to drink as it is to talk about.

First Impressions

Pour it into your glass and you’re greeted with a classic hazy orange glow. It’s soft, cloudy, and full of promise, exactly what you want from a New England-style IPA. The aroma is playful: zesty yuzu lifts through tropical hop notes, giving hints of tangerine and mandarin. Your nose is already in on the fun before the first sip.

Taking a Sip

At 5.4% ABV and 24 IBU, this beer isn’t here to punch you in the face. Instead, it’s a smooth, almost sessionable haze with a subtle tropical hop backbone. The star here is the hops: bright, citrusy, slightly tart, and perfectly balanced against the soft, juicy haze. Some folks have called it “light and refreshing,” while others wished for more hop or yuzu intensity. Either way, it’s easy drinking with a twist, perfect for a sunny afternoon or a chill night at the bar.

Why I Love It

• Juicy + playful: Hazy IPA with a citrus kick that doesn’t overwhelm.
• Collab magic: Two breweries, one fun idea, limited availability.
• Easy on palate: Moderate ABV and low bitterness make it approachable.

Who Should Try It

This beer is ideal for hazy IPA fans looking for something a little different. If you crave bold bitterness or a hop explosion, temper your expectations but if you’re into juicy, citrus-forward, easy-drinking beers, grab one before it’s gone.

Verdict

Supernatural Being Yuzu Hazy IPA is exactly the kind of beer we love showcasing at the bar: creative, approachable, and just a little unexpected. It’s the perfect way to turn an ordinary beer night into a playful tasting adventure.
