🌍 United States · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 45 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

Hazy Pale starts from pilsner malt with a large share of flaked oats for a soft, silky texture, and is hopped with Citra, Krush Cryo and Nelson Sauvin. A fruity English ale yeast works with the hops to lift the fruit. It pours a bright, hazy yellow under dense white foam. Tropical fruit and bright citrus fill the nose. Ripe tangerine, mango and fresh peach sit on the palate, with a vinous hint of white grape and gooseberry from the Nelson. The finish is juicy and pillowy yet clean. It is the summer seasonal.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for pFriem Hazy Pale

◎ Appearance

A bright, luminous yellow beneath a dense white head that holds firm and leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The substantial haze derives from suspended yeast and grain matter rather than chill haze, giving the beer a cloudy, inviting opacity. Moderate carbonation feeds a persistent foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit—ripe mango and tangerine lead, backed by fresh stone fruit notes of peach. Citra and Krush Cryo hops deliver bright citrus character, while Nelson Sauvin contributes a distinctive vinous quality with hints of white grape and gooseberry. The English ale yeast lifts these elements without overshadowing the hop-driven profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and silky, the flaked oats creating a rounded mouthfeel that persists through the mid-palate. Ripe tangerine, mango, and peach dominate the flavor arc, with Nelson Sauvin adding a white-grape and gooseberry undertone that provides subtle complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, allowing fruit to take precedence while maintaining structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is juicy and pillowy, with lingering stone fruit and citrus notes that fade cleanly without harsh tannins or oxidation. Residual sweetness from the oats and malt base gives way to a dry, refreshing aftertaste.
