Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 4 Pines Hazy Pale Ale
◎ Appearance
Pours a cloudy straw yellow with suspended yeast contributing to the haze characteristic of the style. The turbidity is intentional and visually inviting, suggesting fresh dry-hopping and unfiltered character. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, with stable white head that clings to the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by vibrant tropical stone fruit—mango, pineapple, and passionfruit leap immediately from the glass, courtesy of late Citra, Strata, and Nectaron additions. Beneath the bright fruit sits a peach note with herbal green resin undertones, grounding the aromatics in a balanced, approachable complexity.
◐ Taste
The palate opens soft and full-bodied with juicy stone fruit carrying through the mid-palate—peach and citrus notes integrate seamlessly with the malt backbone. The 40 IBU bitterness is present but smooth, never harsh; instead it acts as a structural frame for the fruit-forward character, maintaining balance without drying the finish.
◑ Finish
The finish remains persistently juicy and refreshing, staying true to the beer's character rather than fading into dryness. A subtle pithy note emerges at the very end, adding a whisper of textural complexity without compromising the overall drinkability at 6.0% ABV.
