Tap to rate

Painter's View is a double dry-hopped hazy pale that puts a single variety at its centre: Krush, long known as HBC 586 and officially released under its name in 2024. Used as T90, Cryo and Hyperboost, it delivers tropical splashes, citrus accents and soft stone fruit, summed up as orange, mango and guava. The body is full and satisfying for a pale, the beer is 5.5% and vegan, and it has been on the list since October 2025.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Painter's View

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-amber body with excellent cloudiness from suspended yeast and hop matter. The head is generous and persistent, clinging to the glass in fine lacing. Carbonation is lively but not aggressive, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the Krush hop variety in multiple forms, delivering bright tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and guava lead, followed by orange zest and subtle citrus complexity. A soft, clean malt base supports without overwhelming; no yeast character interferes with the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied for 5.5% ABV, with mango and orange notes translating clearly from aroma to palate. The mid-palate offers balanced sweetness from the malz and restrained bitterness (40 IBU) that sits in the background, never harsh. Finish is dry without being austere, allowing tropical notes to linger gently.
