Hazy Summer-Ale

Tap to rate

Complex and extremely fruity, with pineapple aromas that a special yeast forms on purpose. Matt gold and constantly a little cloudy, with intense hop additions from ten varieties that add complexity. 3.3 % ABV, 30 IBU, a slim summer beer from a limited batch in the brewery's show brewery, paired by the brewery with spicy grilled and exotic dishes.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Summer-Ale

◎ Appearance

A luminous pale gold with a persistent haze, the cloudiness arising deliberately from the chosen yeast strain. The head holds with steady retention, settling into a delicate lace around the glass. Bright carbonation rises steadily through the body, lending the beer a lively, effervescent presence.

◌ Aroma

Pineapple leads the charge, a signature contribution of the specialized yeast fermentation. A complex ten-variety hop bill layers tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—over a light herbal backdrop. Soft grain undertones provide balance, allowing the fruit and hop character to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with vibrant tropical fruit that mirrors the nose, followed by a measured hop bitterness that sits comfortably at the lower end of the spectrum. Light malted grain sweetness threads through the mid-palate, adding substance without weight. The interplay between fruitiness and crisp hop definition remains clean and well-defined, never muddled.

The finish fades gently, with tropical notes lingering briefly before a dry, refreshing conclusion. Minimal residual sweetness keeps the aftertaste inviting and thirst-quenching.
