Little Hazy Lager

Tap to rate

A lager brewed hazy and hopped like an ale. Chinook, Huell Melon, Idaho 7 and Loral put apricot, peach and summer melon on the nose, with grapefruit and zesty citrus cutting through them. CaraHell and CaraMunich malt hold a thin thread of honeyed sweetness under the fruit while wheat rounds out the body. At 11 IBU the bitterness barely registers, and the beer closes light and clean.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Little Hazy Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a slight cloudy cast characteristic of the hazy lager style. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, leaving fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears lively but restrained, appropriate to the mid-strength character.

pale goldenhazymoderate head retention

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit—ripe apricot and peach—layered with summery melon notes from the Huell Melon and Loral hops. Grapefruit and zesty citrus provide definition underneath, while the CaraHell and CaraMunich Malz contribute a gentle honeyed sweetness that frames rather than dominates the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and fruity, with the stone fruit and citrus notes from the aroma translating cleanly onto the tongue. A delicate honeyed sweetness runs through the mid-palate, while wheat adds body and a slight grainy roundness. At 11 IBU, bitterness barely registers; instead, the beer's character remains fruit-forward and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, closing cleanly without lingering sweetness or harsh edges. A faint citrus note persists briefly on the aftertaste before fading to an inviting emptiness.
