Little Hazy Assassin

Tap to rate

A juicy hazy session pale that delivers a hefty punch of tropical fruit flavours. Side fact: the punch comes from a blend of Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic, and at 4.1 % this is the lightest of the five Assassin beers in the Rooster's core range. A laid back, crushable hazy session pale, and certified gluten free.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Little Hazy Assassin

◎ Appearance

A pale golden body with a soft haze throughout, characteristic of the style. The head is modest but persistent, leaving light lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation creates fine effervescence that sustains the cloud.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit — mango and papaya from Galaxy and Mosaic hops — layered beneath citrus zest from Citra. A subtle, clean malt base provides light support without dominating, and the gluten-free grain contributes a soft, slightly grainy undertone that does not detract from hop expression.
