Balter Hazy

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended yeast and hop matter creating a milky, opaque body characteristic of the style. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the soft mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright candied orange and ripe mango, layered beneath a pronounced wave of passionfruit and stone fruit. Late-addition hops dominate without aggression, creating an inviting sweetness. Wheat contributes a soft, pillowy undertone that rounds the overall impression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-driven, with mango and citrus taking immediate precedence on the mid-palate. The wheat base lends a juicy, full texture that resists drying. Bitterness emerges as a restrained undercurrent rather than a sharp edge, balancing the tropical sweetness without overwhelming it.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering notes of orange zest and stone fruit. Residual sweetness fades gradually, leaving a refreshing and inviting aftertaste.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
