🌍 Australia · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 42 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

A hazy pale ale added to the range in 2024. It pours cloudy and has a soft, rounded body, and its hops are used for fruit character rather than bitterness. The aroma is led by ripe tropical fruit – mango, pineapple and passionfruit – which carries through to a juicy palate. Bitterness sits low at 20 IBU, so the finish stays smooth and gently fruity rather than dry, at 4.5 % ABV.

Aroma

The nose is led by ripe tropical stone fruits, with prominent mango and pineapple notes layered alongside passionfruit. Beneath the fruit-forward character lies a subtle, clean Malz foundation that provides balance without asserting itself. The hop aroma remains soft and juicy rather than herbal or resinous, creating an inviting, refreshing opening.

Entry is smooth and well-rounded, allowing the fruit character derived from noble hop selection to shine across the palate. Mid-palate develops peach notes alongside lingering tropical fruit, with subtle stone fruit sweetness providing a gentle bridge. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the beer to maintain its friendly, approachable drinkability without drying the mouth.
