Hawke's Half Pacific
Hawke's Half Pacific is the second beer in the brewery's low-alcohol Half range, released in 2025 with half a standard drink per can. It is a hazy golden pale ale built around Galaxy hops, which bring passionfruit, ripe peach and a gentle orange note to both aroma and palate. A subtle malt character and a soft, rounded texture give the light body some weight, while low bitterness and a short, fruity finish with a touch of apricot keep it easy.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hawke's Half Pacific
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
