Mac’s Hazy Showboat New England IPA

Very drinkable. Refreshing and nice aroma

Fresh and tasty beer

Refreshing - cool can!

Nice fruity aroma

Really loved the flavour, so refreshing!

Will be great for a sunny Summer day drink

My husband liked these

Cool design. Interesting taste.

I really liked the design on the can. Looks fun and inviting. Smell was really nice. It is refreshing and probably nice on a summers day/evening. Bit fruity for me as a beer.

😍 loved this drink and cool design of can

Smelled amazing. The taste wasn’t for me. The cab is very attractive though. Would probably purchase it just based on the can/description. But wouldn’t buy again after tasting

Was surprised how good it tasted. A real fruity and refreshing taste. Its def something I would recommend particularly for summer

Great flavour. Great can design.

I think this is a good beer for the price, we just prefer ones with a bit more oomph like Garage Project, Duncan's etc.

It was a good beer for the price

I was really impressed by this beer!! I'm not a big fan of hops so I was expecting to hate it, but the hoppiness worked great with the complex fruity/botanical flavors. I would still prefer a lager in general but it was very drinkable and I know some people that would go nuts for this

Absolutely loved this. Very refreshing

If you like beer then this beer you would enjoy with food

Great can - distinctive. Craft beer flavour at a more affordable price

Great fruit taste, nice and clean finish. I prefer a more bitter bite, but this is a tasty one. Probably couldn't have too many of these, but would be great at a bbq

Delicious!!! - impressed and would seek out to buy

Jazzy can

Great can design but not the taste I like in a hazy

Very enjoyable and refreshing

Finally an affordable, well branded and flavorsome Hazy IPA!

Very popular drop

Refreshing taste and fun packaging!

Really relaxing and refreshing taste

This was surprisingly very nice beer. The flavour was balanced and not hoppy at all.

This tastes great! Lovely summer drink

Tastes amazing will definitely be buying more

I'm not really a beer person, however was tasty.

I like it even I don't normally like beer.

very easy to drink, liked the taste a lot

first time I’ve tried it today and it wont be my last, very yum

My husband who loves craft beer didn’t like it as it tasted too much like juice. I’m not a huge beer drinker and I enjoyed it. Refreshing.

The only problem - its TOO drinkable. Love it

Didn’t like the fruit flavour

A nice beer with a good hazy, craft beer taste. Not too strong flavour and easy on the palette. Will definitely buy this!

I liked it. I don't normally buy craft beer but this one is great.

Average

Not using a craft beer fan - but this may well bring our household over as converts. Lovely taste, not too 'crafty'

Cool packaging, great product. Loved the taste!

Perfect refreshing drink after climbing 500 stairs.

Cool packaging, good flavour, fruity Hazy

Excellent strong tasting and refreshing IPA. Great thick texture and colour.

Epic flavours, great for summer. Cool packaging

good beer

Nice flavor, would buy again

Yuck. Gave me a headache

Actually enjoyed this. One of the better IPAs

Nice taste.

Really nice tasting beer. Could definitely see myself drinking in summer. Love this can design.

Cold brew, nice flavour

Great summer drink.

My husband really liked this beer and has asked for it to go on the shopping list for a nice refreshing drink on a hot day.

Nice malty tasting brew. Not too gassy either! Will buy for when the weather warms up and you need a thirst quencher cold from the fridge 😊

Very tasty and refreshing and I love the design

Really nice will definitely purchase again

Really nice beer that’ll be going in the shopping cart again

This was a very nice beer. I can see myself drinking these in summer with a hint fruit.

Drinkable and fresh for summer day

Great after mowing lawns.

Nice beer!

Good taste, balanced, no after taste

I allocated the review of this one to a more serious beer drinker in the family. He declared it was what you'd expect from an IPA. Had a good head.

Very nice beer, will buy

Nice and fruity - loved it!

Refreshing drink after hard day work. Goes nicely with dinner. For me personally too much fruity flavour, but enjoyed anyway. Love the can design.

loved it!

Nice and fruity. Definitely enjoyed

Easy to drink especially on a hot summers day.

A refreshing fruity flavour. Would be great over summer

Nice fruity taste. Had a cold one and it went down a treat.

Strong citrus on the nose. Was refreshing so good for 1 or 2 cans to quench

I liked this - but would not go out of my way to buy it

My husband loved it so much went out and bought a pkt for the weekend. A new favourite for him

my husband had it and loved it & was straight into the second can

Not a huge fan, fruity taste was ok but found sometimes after taking a sip it left a horrible after taste.

I'm a big fan of hazy craft beer and I reckon this is going to be one of my favourites ( empty can of the drink attached)

Husband loved them

Nice and refreshing flavours

After a hard day in the garden tried this fruity beer. Definitely not hubby's favourite as he could taste the fruit but I didn't mind it at all and I don't usually drink beer.

Wasn’t a fan at all. No one in our family enjoyed it.

Solid beer in the ‘faux craft’ category. Gives the uninitiated a chance to dabble in hazy beer style.

Really refreshing and found it not as gassy.

Fresh and fruity ipa, really loved it. Perfect summer beer

Not too bad. Love the design. :) a bit too sweet for me.

Good drop from Macs will definitely add to the fridge rotation.

We’ll be buying more of this! A nice craft beer flavour at an affordable price.

Nice brew.

Easy to drink, eye catching design. Don't usually go for craft beers but this was nice enough. Craft beers are a little 'fruity & hoppy'for my taste

Not a fan of bitter beer so please bear this in mind. Loved the fruity flavor, but I prefer lager to IPA anyway hence the 3 stars.

Good summery drink

Tasty beer

I’m not usually a prolific beer drink but WOW, I absolutely loved this one. I think I’ve just found my new summer go to.

Husband enjoyed the beer. I had a few sips tasted nice and refreshing

I didn't really like this one buy my dad tryed it as well and he loved it

Tasty and refreshing. Very enjoyable

Very nice IPA

Nice fresh beer for a hot summer day

Fruity but not as fruity as a Radler so good in between IPA

A little too fruity

My husband is the one who likes hazy IPA. It wasn't his favourite.

Loved the flavour. Smooth to drink with a pineapple/passionfuit after taste. Prefer over happy beer anyday. Was also well liked by my husband who drinks alot of craft beer

Husband was not a fan

Nice drop, enjoyed this and will be purchasing moving forward, loved the packaging.z

Great flavour and reasonably good price! Could drink a number of them!

Delicious summer beer, a winner in our house

Definite winner in our house. Fruity on the nose but still nice and hoppy which is the IPA style. This will be our summer bbq beer.

Great smell although tastes a bit too sweet

Fruity flavoured fragrance, but no fruity taste. Lightly flavoured and easy to drink. Would be quite refreshing in summer.

Definitely tropical, definitely fruity - a taste of summer!

Definitely taste the fruitiness…. Not bad but would only have one

Bery fruity and refreshing, i will totally be getting some for our hot summer days

Full hoppy flavour, great packaging and feels so fun to drink!

We found these quite fruity...I liked it, but would just have one... My sister and partner who like IPA & craft beers didn't like it...

Nice alternative taste

Nice and fruity hazy

Great packaging and lovely to drink - 10/10

Nice drop for a showboat 👌🏽 Loved it

Gave this to my husband as he fancies himself as a bit of a beer connoisseur 😂 He says ‘nice beer, very refreshing, please send me more’ 😂

Wasn’t a fan of this.

Can design is awesome, but not a fan of the sting taste

One of our favourite craft beers

Such cool cans, can’t wait to get these for summer. Easy to drink

Great summer beer and we’ll presented

Strong taste, was a bit over bearing but I'd drink it at a push, probably wouldn't be my go to. Better Craft Beers on the market, especially IPAs

Husband isn’t really into craft beer but he actually said this was the best IPA he’d had before.

Very juicy heavy stone fruit flavours. Would definitely buy for summer.

Wasn’t a fan of this one tho it had nice strong flavour there were to many going on at once

Husband loved this- fruity and juicy and perfect for summer...actually for winter as well

Was ok Probably wouldn’t buy it though

My husband and son in law Loved this !

Nice easy drinking hazy beer. Very fruity (specifically stone fruit). Would definitely buy it.

Enjoyable, fruity.

Nice to try something new

I’m not a big beer drinker but I enjoyed this as it was fruity with a juicy taste. My husband who enjoys craft beer was not really a fan.

Great tasting IPA

It was refreshing and it did taste good.

Great refreshing taste

Nice and refreshing taste. Very easy to dink

Enjoyed the fruity flavor. Was refreshing on a hot day.

Very tasty hazy

Really enjoyed this IPA! Great taste and refreshing!

Love it. Refreshing. Great for summer

Nice crisp fizzy refreshing beer

This was great, I am not a huge beer drinker but found this very refreshing. Hubby loved it too and knows his beers better than me! Great flavour, quite fruity and nice and light.

Being a beer drinker, this is another failure to add more something to something and fail

Don’t usually drink craft beer but was quite surprised by this.

I liked the citrus flavour but found too bitter for me

Usually like my IPA a little more bitter but really enjoyed this. Very drinkable

Enjoy Hazys including this one. Nice and smooth, good juice hints too.

Designed for a speciality palette or a certain palette, not for open market

I love the packaging I really wanted to love this. It did have a tropical flavour to it tho which I felt matched the packaging. It also didn't leave a bloated feeling which can sometimes happen so that was good.

The flavors were very strong and quite fruity didn't enjoy this one

My husband said oK but will not buy it again... sorry.

Not too bad

Better than others

Really not a big fan

Not a fan sorry

Not a fan

Was to hoppy forms liking. Not sure about the taste overall. But my brother tried it and liked it.

Husband loved it, said the flavour was great and he was pleasantly surprised it was a Mac’s beer - will be bought again!

Fruity and delicious

Will not be purchasing. One sip, down the sink

I enjoyed this beverage I would definitely purchase this product

Fresh, fruity taste, going to be a great refreshing summer drink

great taste,nice drop

Husband thought it was great and we'll be buying this again

Enjoyed the taste, smelt really nice.

It was ok. Bit pricey for me.

enjoyed fruity taste

Beautiful drop

This is a delicious beer, great for all occasions

My husband had this and really enjoyed it.

Very nice summery beer

Firstly loved the can design - hubby tried with friend and they both enjoyed

My husband and his friend enjoyed these, although he prefers Pilsner beers, these were nice also. Great design on can.

My husband tried this and said it was refreshing.

Flavour was interesting and exotic

Pricey, smelt great, taste was disappointing. My friend thought it was ok but wouldn’t rush out to buy again

Pretty nice for a mass produced hazy.

Not my cup of tea, but enjoyed by my husband and who likes a good craft bear.

This was a great beer - good flavour, and the little black pull tab on the top looks awesome. Gives me a smile each time I see it in the fridge.

Fruity flavour, liked the design of the can

Nice can design Taste is interesting At first taste I got a hint of fruity flavour but then it was like drinking a cheap beer.

Had a nice taste and the can design is very cool. I can see myself drinking this in the summer

Nice flavour

a new flavour to try if you enjoy craft beer

Great with a BBQ

Mac always delivers - all I can say here

Taste was ok but not for me.

This was fruity, fresh and delicious

I'm not a beer drinker, but my partner is. He liked it but probably wouldn't buy it again

Cool design. Taste not bad

I didn’t like it at all but I am not a beer drinker. My husband enjoyed it.

tasty and flavourful

Nice for something different but wouldn't drink regularly

Really fruit - husband enjoyed it

Not my flavour at all!! Couldn't finish the can

Nice fruit taste but would only have a couple

No good tasted like someone soaked potpourri in it then drained it and canned up, the after taste was worse.

Good tasting beer

Very fruity and nice.

Husband really enjoyed this. Likes a craft bear.

Smells delicious but very strong flavour

Nice flavour, right amount of carbonation and beautiful after taste. I enjoyed this craft beer.

Loved the packaging. Nice fruity taste

Husband liked it. He said it was a 1 off drink with a meal type thing though. You couldn't drink the box at a time, very strong flavour.

partner was straight into them thought they were great, nice crisp fruity flavour. Would definitely buy again.

Good beer. Interesting fruity notes.

Great tasting beer. Not too bitter and nice and fruity. Can design is awesome.

Interesting beer flavour, recommend purchasing

This was delicious! Will definitely be buying.

Strange taste.

Not a fan. Don't like fruity beers

I loved this. I’m not a fan of bitter, hoppy beers but this was not that. It was light, refreshing and very easy to drink. Perfect for me, as craft beers are my preference. I love the vibrant design on the can.

Partner thought it was just okay

Delicious!

Nice and good flavour would buy again

My husband really enjoyed it. Great flavour and will definitely purchase again. I liked the packaging

Very nice beer And a good price

Hubby loved it!

My partner loves a hazy and gave this a great review. He made all the right noises "mmm yeah, that's good, oh yeah I like that a lot, f yeah that's so good" hahaha

My husband drank these. He wasn't the biggest fan but feels they're more of a summer beer.

Husband drunk these. He liked them

Husband drank this, not a bad taste

I don't dri k beer but gave it a taste. Was ok. My partner likes a hazy beer and enjoyed it

The bomb

Not a lover of macs, especially in cans, last few packs I’ve bought have tasted off. Tried the beer, generally like hazies, not keen on this. Give it a miss.

I gave one to my friend who loves hazy ipas, he laughed and said he hates these and its his the worst hazy ipa hes tried. I don't like hoppy beers (I normally only drink dry lagers), so thought I'd completely hate this, however the initial flavour isn't too bad.. but then I hated the hoppy bitter after taste, so I wouldn't buy it. My friend who loves hazy ipa's also would never buy this.

Tasty but couldn’t drink too many as it’s too aromatic

It was fine, husband thought it tasted a bit like chemicals but I thought it wasn't too bad. Nothing too exciting.

Very sweet

Very aromatic, couldn’t drink too many of them.

Not very pleasant to drink

Really enjoyed this take on an IPA ... i'm all for unique and interesting flavours. I might've found one of my new favourite IPAs?

Delicious fruity flavour

Hubby and I both really enjoyed this! It is now my favorite beer... Love the fruity notes and that it is a nice rounded flavor.

Didn't enjoy. Had a weird taste.

I don't think I have ever seen a can with as much of a cool print as what this has.

Good

The fruity notes were all there in the smell but not as much in the taste.

Average

Really nice.

The husband said it was really good. He would buy it again

My husband loved this beer, said it was strong and hoppy just how he likes it, as an avid IPA fan. He loved the depth of flavour and that it was less bitter than some IPAs.

This beer was a bit too strong for my taste, but it would be good for bread making.

Perfect for summer

A good beer for summer

Loved the taste, I like strong beer and the fruit hints were quite refreshing.

Great beer for an intro craft beer drinker. The tropical hints were a nice touch. Probably more suited as a winter beverage unless you can keep it chilled well in summer.

Instant tropical bouquet coupled with strong flavour, Mac's Hazy SHOWBOAT goes down well after a long day at work or for those supporting the sporting sidelines!

Great packaging

Quite bitter for a hazy but didn't mind too much

Very fruity in taste, goes town a treat.

Foul, didn't like the taste at all. Nice can though.

Pleasant at first but as a very sharp after taste.

Smells really nice but a really odd after taste, definitely one for the committed craft beer drinkers

Both myself and my husband did not enjoy the after taste of this beer. The fruity hints were nice.

Not my cup of tea as I found this very strong and so did my partner m. Maybe if you love craft beer this could be for you

Nice and refreshing Hazy

Fruity notes.

My partner and I both really enjoyed this beer and will definitely try it again. It tastes great and the packaging was also really appealing too.

As a bit of a beer snob, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this beer. The taste was more complex than I'm used to in offerings from bigger breweries, and was genuinely impressed at the fruitiness. I didn't suffer from the bloating I usually get from drinking Mac's beers either! Will definitely keep this in rotation come summertime, it was a refreshing drink that still packed a bunch of flavour.

Delicious hazy IPA, light and fruity - definitely surprised and would buy again.

Pleasantly surprised by this hazy beer. Not usual choice but would buy again

Delish!! Full fruity tasting hazy beer. So nice ice cold.

Refreshing. And easy to drink

Good flavour, little bitter

I didn’t get to try this because hubby stole it from the box the second it arrived!

I didn't like these at all very bitter had to mix it with fruit juice to enjoy it.

Good too have a hazy IPA to add to the Mac’s range. Love to see some craft style beers for a good price.

Delicious Beerverage! Mac's has done well with this fruity IPA.

I did not enjoy this drink

Fruity but a big bitter for me

Good floral hoppy nose, quite malty but with bitterness to provide balance.

delicious

Not for me - far too fruity but tasted like bad fruit to me.

More hoppy than I usually like but still tasty

Fruity and refreshing. Nice IPA for summer

Great beer - enjoyed the IPA flavour. Is definitely something I would drink regularly!

Not that into IPA so found them a bit much, could only have one.

Great flavour, fresh, fruity and appealing to drink! Excellent with spicy chorizo mini sausage rolls

Quite fruity

Very fruity and refreshing

Great packaging and a good hoppy IPA - bit too hoppy for my partner though - he prefers the slightly lighter tasting Happy Days from MACs.

Not a big beer fan but got the thumbs up from the husband.

My partner absolutely loved this beer would defiantly be buying these again for him

Great to see something different in beer market

Great beer. Not usually an IPA drinker but can appreciate a good one. Nice flavours but very hoppy.

Nice crisp taste for a warm day. Definitely one to savour not drink quickly.

Great beer

Hubby really enjoyed this.

Partner liked them but was a bit hoppy for me.

Ok drink

Nice crisp taste...definetly going to be a hit in summer

Refreshing and tasty. Easy to drink.

Great taste, easy drinking

This is hubby's favourite beer at the moment. Full flavoured and refreshing

Husband was stoked to try this. The can is very attractive!

Not my favourite, but others will like it. Found it a bit too bitter / fruity for my pallet.

Not really to the wife's liking. This particular combo of floral notes and bitterness just didn't work for us. Had a nice design on the can though, so an extra star for that. :)

My husband really enjoyed this beer.

It’s hard to rate a craft beer, as it’s an acquired taste and what some people like, others don’t. I like craft beer, but hazy is probably my least favourite of them all.

Awesome presentation tastes great

Love a good hazy, and totally recommend this one.

nice tasting beer

Good beer

Quite fruity, a good summer beer but not quite to my tastes.

Tasty, fruity beer. Beer itself quite light but flavour taste was heavy.

Delicious fruity drop in a delightfully decorated can.

Really enjoyed it, quite a nice fruity flavour compared to your traditional beer flavour

The fruit flavor was too over powering. Preferred the beer taste.

Quite a fruity flavour without enough follow through. Light compared to other hazys and lacked strength (alcohol per centage). Sweeter than others available.

Not a huge craft style beer drinker but this one was a good balance!

Awesome design

Sweet, zesty and refreshing. Good summer beer

Fruity and refreshing quite a light beer in fullness.

I'm not a bug IPA fan but this is very drinkable.The haziness and taste reminds me of some european beer.

Can design is cute, flavour was fruity but after taste was a little bitter, not like most ipas I've had. Wouldn't personally buy again but nice to try.

Not too hoppy for an IPA. Fruity flavour. Would drink again.

MACS

Fairly hoppy and fruity but nice and refreshing

Not. Leaves a film over your mouth. Fruity. I would target this at the young beer drinkers, potentially female due to fruityness

Beautiful hazy beer that is refreshingly different

Not a big fan of this beer but the can was cool

Nice and tasty. I like a good hazy beer and this hits the spot

I actually enjoy this. I wasn't too sure on the first two sips but I really enjoyed.

A nice IPA

Soooo refreshing

I love craft beers and this is one of the better IPAs I’ve had. Full of flavor, fruity and went down a treat.

Very fruity

My husband drank these as I don’t particularly like hazy beer. He loves a good hazy and said this one was very refreshing and had an awesome taste. He would definitely buy again in the future

Love the pretty can.not much of a craft beer fan dont like the fruity in my beer

Ones more than enough

Fruity and sweet IPA, will be a top choice for a summer beer

Not for me unfortunately, I do love an ipa however this is far too fruity / almost sweet for me .

Fantastic, lovely fruity taste a hint of summer on a dreary winters day

Something I don’t normally drink and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Quite a fruity undertone

Very tasty

Fruity, with cool packaging. Well priced.

Great packaging and nice refreshing taste, would be great on a hot summer day!

Very tasty and refreshing after a morning at work.

Hubby got to these before I could , he loved them ,

Husband loves ipa

Bloody good

Not my favourite but I'm not really into craft . Initial fruitiness is very pleasant but it's bitterness quickly takes over. However the fruit flavour does linger in the after taste.
