Squeeze

Tap to rate

Squeeze is the brewery's session-strength pale ale and part of its core range, on draught and in cans. It is hopped with Motueka, Citra, Columbus and Idaho 7. The brewery calls it breezy, soft and hazy, loaded with juiciness from the first two varieties, while the other two add a subtle punch of dankness that keeps it balanced. The hop bill points towards lime, orange and tropical fruit with a resinous, herbal edge. At 4% it sits between the table pale and the regular pale ale in the permanent line.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Squeeze

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-yellow body with a soft, fine white head that settles to a thin collar of foam. The cloudiness comes through the hefe, creating a deliberately opaque, inviting appearance. Carbonation is moderate and steady, supporting a delicate Schaumkleiden around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lime and orange—backed by tropical fruit character from the Motueka and Citra. Beneath the juicy top notes sits a gentle herbal and resinous undertone from Columbus and Idaho 7, anchoring the hop profile without dominating. Light, clean malt presence supports without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with citrus and stone fruit flavors unfolding across the palate. The mid-palate balances juiciness with a subtle dank, herbal punch that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional. Bitterness at 40 IBU is restrained but present, finishing dry without harshness on the tongue.

What is a Hazy Pale Ale?

Pale Ales balance malt sweetness with moderate hop character at 4.5–6% ABV and IBU 20–40. Approachable with floral, citrus or earthy notes over a biscuit malt base.

Finding a similar Hazy Pale Ale

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, tropical, citrusy character as Squeeze will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
