Original 7 Hazy Pale

Tap to rate

A hazy pale ale at 4.1%, one of the three beers the brewery launched with and conceived as the lighter, more sessionable alternative to an IPA. Pineapple and mango lead on the nose, the tropical fruit carries through the palate, and the body is full and creamy for the strength. It is double dry-hopped, with the same varieties as the house IPA: Magnum, Citra, Belma, El Dorado and Azacca.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Original 7 Hazy Pale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a persistent haze that softens the color into a cloudy amber-tinged blonde. The head forms quickly and holds with fine, tight bubbles that leave delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is brisk and visible, creating an effervescent, lively presence.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruits dominate the nose—bright pineapple and ripe mango arrive first, supported by the aromatic profile of Citra, El Dorado, and Azacca hops. A soft, doughy maltiness underpins the fruit without asserting itself, while the double dry-hop contributes layered citrus and subtle herbal notes. Clean fermentation allows the hop character to shine unobstructed.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate tropical fruit sweetness—pineapple and mango carry through seamlessly from the aroma into a full, creamy body that belies the modest 4.1% ABV. Mild bitterness from the 40 IBU builds gradually across the mid-palate without becoming sharp or astringent, balancing the fruit character without dominating it. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, with a gentle, lingering juiciness.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with a dry, clean fade that leaves subtle hop resin and stone fruit notes on the palate. No lingering sweetness or cloying residue—the beer drinks refreshingly light despite its full texture.
