‘New England-style’ beers are American Pale Ales and IPAs are that are most often described as hazy and juicy. The haze is due to the higher protein malts that are used as well as yeasts—like our English house yeast— that do not flocculate as well as standard American Ale yeasts: this leaves particulates in the beer that gives it a hazy appearance
Since believes that filtration removes too much flavour the haze sticks around. This, combined with a light whirlpool hopping and a robust double dry-hop, results in a big tropical fruity/citrusy aroma and taste; hence juicy
It may look a bit like a milkshake and taste a bit like juice—but that’s the whole point
ABV: 5.5%
BITTERNESS: 35 IBU
TASTING NOTES: Juicy and Hazy

gets asked more questions about their Kettle Sour than any other beer. Three of them mainly:
1. Is it really sour? Yes. The tartness/sourness comes from the lactobacillus (the same bacteria in yogurt) culture that we use. We can control how sour it gets from monitoring the pH
2. How do you make it sour? We get a culture from a local dairy and sour the wort in the kettle overnight. Then we boil the soured wort to sanitize it and kill the bacteria. Then we dry-hop in the fermenter with a blend that changes each time we make it
3. Is there citrus in here? No, but there are strong citrus and tropical notes (among others depending on the hops varietals). We dry-hop heavily in this beer to make it as aromatic as possible!

The term "Hazy" refers to material being suspended in the beer, which in turn gives it a hazy appearance, as opposed to being clear like you find with filtered beers
There are several ways in which a beer can achieve this hazy appearance including keeping the yeast in suspension, dry hopping, and brewing with high protein grains
The term hazy is typically used to describe New England-style IPA's

IBU is an abbreviation for the International Bitterness Units scale, which gauges a beer's bitterness. IBUs measure the parts per million of isohumulone in a beer, which is the acid found in hops that gives beer its bitter bite.
The IBU scale can be used as a general guideline for taste, the higher the IBUs the more bitter (or “hoppy”) a beer will taste. It's important to note that factors such as malt and other flavors can mask the taste of bitterness in beer, which is why IBUs are more of a general guideline than an exact measurement of bitterness

If so, this might help

Lagers are fermented slowly, in lower temperatures, and ferment bottom up
