Have had a few Good George Virtual Reality over the break. Best 0.5% I have had. Beats Tiny as it doesn’t lack the hazy juiciness.
That is my criticism about Tiny. It's more straw-coloured rather than the orange-coloured, flavoursome Hazy beers I have liked. Maybe that is a problem with Garage Project as I also bought some Chipper which has the same appearance. Disappointing.

Tiny is still good, just not really to description. They use a fair bit of oats in the mash for body and mouthfeel but it isn’t anything like a juicy hazy.
The Good George one is quite juicy. Stacked full of Riwaka and Sauvin. Tastes like the beer you have when not having a beer. -

Been doing a fair number of NZ based Hazys and NEIPAs using Gladfield malts and NZ hops like Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin along with Motueka, Moutere, Wai-iti, Taiheke, etc.
My Holiday Hazy I posted just before Xmas used Riwaka and Nelson along with the first time using Nectaron.
The beer I currently have brewing which is now only 2 days from kegging, is a Double Hazy using Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin and Idaho-7.
I really love the flavours brought by these two hops so I'm doing some experimentation to find the best hop(s) to partner them with.

@RoninWC looks awesome
I brewed my best beer ever last month, a classic hazy fermented under pressure. Ferment and serve from the fermzilla. Superb beer, 7.5% that tastes like smooth hop juice.
Sorry @nzzp been meaning to ask, what was it you brewed. Must have been damn good to call it your best ever. And of course, a picture or it never happened
Recipe?
I'm on extended holiday so will brew and post when I get back home. Was a mad fermentationist recipe I think, but in a fermzilla. Pressure fermented, served from fermenter and fast... All done in 7 days including dry hopping. No oxygen, very little aroma loss. Great fun
@RoninWC righto, back on the couch at home.
Pic below. It lasted all of 2 weeks. Brewed under pressure in a fermzilla with spunding valve, added hops via hop bong. Basically zero oxygen intrusion - served directly from the keg. Was the best, most hop forward beer I have made ... my mates hooked me up with the kit for a birthday last year, and i hadn't got around to actually pressure fermenting.

Tell the truth, you make the props for the Mad Max movies, don't you?!

Fantastic, (and I can imagine the labels) but forgive me if that doesn't make it sound tasty!

Hazy Smeghead.. Or, just to be a little bit more obscure, Red Dwarf Rimmer. One day I'm sure I'll spy a 'Self Loathing Beast'-labelled supercheap and disgusting vodka bottle..

Latest beer currently on tap and first for the new year as I did this one over the holiday period.
Creatively called "NY23 Imperial NEIPA" @ 9.2% Boozy and Hazy AF using Idaho-7, Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka hops.
Thick hazy fruit bomb. This hop combination really hits the mark.

So did another Hard Seltzer, this time a 12% Lychee and Guava. Turned out brilliantly, very refreshing but potent AF for these hot humid Sydney days.
Posted this in a few FB groups I belong to and interestingly, I was contacted by a fellow member who turns out to work for a commercial brewery out of WA.
Having seen a number of my seltzers I've posted, he asked if I would be okay to provide recipes and methodology which I did.
Looks like they are looking to add a Selzer on tap at their local Taphouse.
To say thanks for sharing with him, he said he'd send a couple of their beers. Today completely out of the blue as I wasn't expecting anything, beer mail this morning.
Some real crackers in the lineup including that "Sweet 16" is an Imperial Stout at 16% ABV!
Toughest choice of the day is to decide which beers to put into the fridge for Beer O'clock later this afternoon.

You know very well the answer is “all of them” , and if the wife and kids food has to come out to make room, then so be it

are they having a crack at Russell Crowe?
And your Lychee and Guava sounds fantastic.

the above tasty lineup from Ronin makes me think there should be a Grumpy Old Man beer (but I'm flexible on what type it should be).
