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

Juicy Mid packs full pale ale flavour into a mid-strength 3.5% beer, about one standard drink per can. It pours pale yellow with a light to medium haze and a meringue-white head. Biscuit, tangerine, apricot and fresh-cut grass fill the aroma. Easy drinking but with enough palate weight to stay interesting, it delivers candied pineapple, lime and nectarine, lifted by a persistent yet subtle effervescence that keeps every sip fresh.
