Faux

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and maintains good retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as you drink. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, true to the pale ale style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with zesty lime and citrus peel, courtesy of the generous Motueka and Citra hopping. Beneath sits a faint tropical fruit character—passionfruit and stone fruit notes emerge on closer inspection. Supporting these are subtle bready and caramel undertones from the oats, Munich malt, and crystal rye, keeping the profile balanced and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and zesty, with lime and citrus leading the charge. The mid-palate reveals gentle bready and faintly caramel sweetness from the malt bill, adding modest body and depth. Bitterness is restrained—forty IBU remain in the background as a dry, citrus-driven frame rather than a dominating force.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with citrus notes lingering pleasantly on the palate. It closes clean, leaving no cloying sweetness or harsh edge—just a refreshing, brisk aftertaste that invites another sip.
