FAVOURITE

Tap to rate

FAVOURITE builds on a soft, pale oat-heavy base that lets the hops take centre stage. Big tropical fruit, citrus and grapefruit aromas dominate the nose, while hints of berry and resin add depth and a subtle grip. The palate is juicy and smooth, finishing with that same layered clarity—neither sharp nor heavy, just clean and approachable. At 5.2 per cent, this is a hazy pale built for the long afternoon or early evening, when you want flavor without weight. The double dry-hop work pulls tropical notes right through to the end, making it aperitif-ready without the need for ceremony.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for FAVOURITE

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-amber pour with soft, diffuse clarity that sits comfortably between opaque and translucent. The head forms a fine, delicate foam that holds moderate lacing along the glass. Gentle carbonation lifts the suspended yeast and grain particles, creating that characteristic cloudy suspension without heaviness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive tropical fruit—pineapple, mango, and stone fruit—backed by bright citrus and distinct grapefruit zest. A subtle resinous edge and berry undertone add dimension without aggression. The double dry-hop work projects clearly, with no harsh solvent notes or excessive herbality; the oat base remains quietly in the background.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with the oat-forward Malz providing a creamy, almost silky mouthfeel that frames the hop character without muddying it. Mid-palate shows layered tropical and citrus notes, while a low-to-moderate resinous bite provides grip without drying harshly. Bitterness remains restrained and well-integrated, allowing the fruit and grain sweetness to breathe.

Clean and moderately long, with tropical hop notes persisting into the aftertaste. The resin and berry elements linger gently without becoming sharp, leaving a refreshing, aperitif-ready clarity that invites the next sip.
