🌍 Australia · Alcohol-Free Pale Ale · One of 14 Alcohol-Free Pale Ales in hopIQ

Free Time Fresh Hop Hazy takes hops that go into the brew within hours of being picked, which pulls the aroma away from the usual dried-cone profile. Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Galaxy give mandarin and passionfruit alongside a green, almost grassy freshness that only undried hops produce. The beer is hazy and light straw in colour over a soft, rounded body. Bitterness stays low and the finish is clean, so the aroma does the work.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Free Time Fresh Hop Hazy

Appearance

A hazy pale ale dressed in light straw gold, with suspended particles creating a soft, cloudy veil throughout. The head forms gently and persists with modest lacing along the glass. Carbonation is understated, befitting the alcohol-free profile and emphasis on hop character over visual drama.

Aroma

Fresh hop aromatics dominate, led by bright mandarin and passionfruit notes from the Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and Galaxy varieties. A distinctive grassy and green character emerges—the signature of undried, whole-plant hops picked and brewed within hours. Malt presence is restrained, allowing the volatile hop compounds to occupy the foreground.

Taste

The palate opens soft and rounded, with the hop-forward identity carrying through cleanly. Citrus and stone fruit flavours continue from the nose, while a subtle grassy undertone adds complexity without harshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 28 IBU, integrated and finishing dry rather than sharp.

Finish

The finish is clean and brief, leaving no residual sweetness or astringency. The aroma's final gesture—a faint green, herbal whisper—lingers gently before fading.
