Hazy As

Tap to rate

Hazy As pours cloudy gold and rests on Riwaka, Galaxy and Citra Cryo. Pale malt, wheat, Vienna and rolled oats build the soft, silky body that carries the haze. Passionfruit, pineapple and papaya dominate the aroma, with grapefruit and zesty citrus underneath, and the bitterness is measured enough to stop the fruit turning sweet. The recipe came out of six trial batches at the Fremantle brewpub.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tropical stone fruits—passionfruit, pineapple, and papaya—courtesy of the Galaxy and Citra Cryo hops. Beneath these bright top notes, grapefruit and zesty citrus emerge, grounded by a subtle wheat and pale malt foundation. The hop character is inviting without aggressive green or resinous notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the wheat and rolled oats providing a creamy body that carries the tropical fruit character onto the palate. Mid-palate maintains citrus brightness—particularly pineapple and grapefruit—while a restrained 25 IBU bitterness arrives to prevent the fruit from sliding into cloying sweetness. Finish is crisp and balanced, with measured hop bitterness lingering alongside fading tropical notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, drying gently as the bitterness fades. A faint grapefruit and stone fruit memory persists without becoming sticky or overly sweet.
