Hazy Standard

Australia·Mid-Strength Pale Ale
Tap to rate

A mid-strength hazy pale ale that keeps the nose of a full-strength one. Idaho 7, Cashmere and Galaxy give citrus, tropical fruit, peach and passionfruit, added heavily and late. Pale malt, wheat and rolled oats leave a pillowy, faintly grainy body, while the house hazy yeast contributes fruit esters and holds the cloud. At 30 IBU the bitterness is firmer than the strength suggests, which keeps the finish clean rather than sweet.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and orange peel—followed by tropical stone fruit notes of peach and passionfruit from the late hop additions. A soft, grainy undertone emerges from the wheat and rolled oats, while the house yeast contributes gentle fruity esters that add complexity without sharp phenolic notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and fruity, with peach and citrus settling across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a soft, pillowy body supported by the oat and wheat foundation—never cloying, always approachable. Bitterness at 30 IBU arrives firmer than the 3.5% ABV might suggest, providing grip and preventing any drift toward sweetness.

The finish is dry and refreshing, with residual citrus and peach notes fading into a faint grainy dryness. Aftertaste holds a light, pleasant bitterness that encourages the next sip.
