Side Quest
A hazy pale ale on an oat-heavy malt base that makes it soft and silky, with generous additions of Citra, Mosaic, Chinook and Summit. Bold tropical and citrus fruit on the nose; the palate is soft and full of juicy tropical hop flavour, bright and easy to drink. Hazy gold in the glass, with wheat alongside the oats and barley in the grist. Sold on keg. The name plays on the brewery's own origin story, as an exploration off the beaten track.
