Firmly bitter and dry.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Weekend
◎ Appearance
Hazy Weekend presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspension of yeast and grain particles. The beer holds a modest white head with fine retention and even lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and even throughout, reinforcing the soft, approachable character.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent citrus and pineapple notes, layered over a subtle dank, piney character from the Simcoe, Centennial and Citra hop blend. Beneath the fruit sits a clean, unobtrusive malt base with gentle grain sweetness. The overall impression is bright and inviting, without aggressive herbal or resinous edges.
◐ Taste
On the palate, the beer is juicy and smooth, with orange and tropical fruit flavors unfolding over a gently grainy foundation from pale malt, rolled oats and unmalted white wheat. The bitterness integrates softly and does not dominate; at 55 IBU, it provides structural support rather than sharp bite. The mouthfeel is light yet full enough to carry the fruit expression without feeling thin.
◑ Finish
The finish is restrained and clean, with fruit and grain notes fading gradually into a dry, pleasant aftertaste. No harsh astringency or lingering hop burn interrupts the departure.
