LUSH

Tap to rate

LUSH strips back to a super pale base, then softens it with plenty of oats to build a rounded, approachable body. The hop blend of Sabro, Waimea and Nectaron floods the glass with tropical fruit aroma—pineapple and stone fruit layering through the nose and palate. At 4.4%, this is super drinkable; the moderate strength and creamy oat backbone make it dangerously easy to return to the glass. A hazy pale that works as an afternoon beer or when you want flavour without weight. Serve chilled.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for LUSH

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a soft, diffuse haze from suspended oats and yeast—clear enough to read through, yet deliberately cloudy. A white head forms readily and holds with gentle cling to the glass. Fine carbonation sits beneath the surface, contributing to a creamy visual texture.

◌ Aroma

The hop blend of Sabro, Waimea and Nectaron dominates with bright tropical stone fruit—ripe pineapple, peach and apricot layer through the nose. Underneath, a soft oat sweetness and light grainy backdrop frame the hops without asserting themselves. The aroma is clean and inviting, free from harsh green notes or resinous edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, the oat backbone building a creamy mouthfeel that belies the 4.4% strength. Mid-palate mirrors the aroma—pineapple and stone fruit persist with a light, supporting malt sweetness. Bitterness remains moderate and balanced; the Edelhopfen provide structure without dominating, allowing the fruity character to remain prominent through the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and fairly short, the carbonation helping carry the fruit through without lingering heaviness. A light drying sensation and faint stone fruit memory remain on the palate.

What is a Hazy Pale Ale?

Pale Ales balance malt sweetness with moderate hop character at 4.5–6% ABV and IBU 20–40. Approachable with floral, citrus or earthy notes over a biscuit malt base.
