🌍 Australia · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 42 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

Modus Hazy is the brewery's everyday hazy pale, built on Pilsner malt with a large share of wheat and rolled oats for a soft, full body and a cloudy straw-yellow appearance. Cashmere, Galaxy and Idaho 7 carry the hop profile while the bitterness stays low. Passionfruit and ripe peach come through on the nose, followed by melon, lime zest and a hint of pine resin over a smooth, lightly creamy base.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Modus Hazy

Appearance

Modus Hazy presents a straw-yellow colour with deliberate cloudiness derived from suspended yeast and wheat protein. The head forms quickly with moderate retention and fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation appears lively yet restrained, appropriate to the session-ale character.

Aroma

The nose leads with ripe peach and passionfruit, lifted by the Cashmere, Galaxy and Idaho 7 hop blend. Melon and lime zest emerge in the mid-layer, alongside a subtle hint of pine resin that grounds the profile without dominating. The Pilsner and wheat malz foundation contributes a soft, biscuity undertone that does not distract from the hop-forward character.

Taste

The palate opens soft and full-bodied, with the wheat and rolled oats delivering a lightly creamy mouthfeel that invites continued drinking. Tropical stone fruit and citrus flavours unfold across the mid-palate, with gentle resinous edges that reinforce the hop identity. Bitterness remains low and integrated, never sharp, allowing the fruity sweetness to persist without cloying.

Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, fading from citrus into a dry, slightly herbaceous aftertaste. No astringency or harshness lingers, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for the next sip.
