🌍 Australia · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 23 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

The Hazy Pale was brewed as a birthday beer and stayed in the range. Cashmere, Idaho, Citra and Mosaic give tropical fruit, melon and lemon-lime aromas with a floral edge, and the haze brings a soft, juicy body without the weight of a hazy IPA. Bitterness stays low, so the fruit and the light sweetness of the malt carry the finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Philter Hazy Pale

Appearance

Hazy pale gold in color, with substantial cloudiness from suspended yeast and protein that softens the overall visual impression. A dense, creamy head forms and maintains gentle lacing down the glass. Bright carbonation provides fine bubbles throughout the body.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—pineapple and stone fruit—alongside melon and citrus notes that suggest lime and lemon zest. Cashmere, Idaho, Citra, and Mosaic hops contribute a delicate floral edge that softens the overall impression without becoming perfumy. Light Malz character sits quietly in the background.

Taste

The palate opens with the same juicy tropical character found in the aroma, with ripe melon and citrus flavors moving across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the fruit and a subtle malt sweetness to dominate. The soft, full-bodied texture—despite the low ABV—carries these flavors with an easy, approachable character.
