🌍 United Kingdom · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 9 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

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.
