Hazy Pale Ale is a New England style pale ale from Svaneke with 5.2 percent alcohol, and the beer is described as fruity. A generous dose of late hops is named as the source of the fruitiness, with Chinook, Simcoe, Callista and Mosaic as the varieties. It is brewed on Bornholm by a brewery that works fully organic and always leaves its beer unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

A hazy, golden-amber pour with pronounced cloudiness from the unfiltered nature and active yeast. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with stable lacing. Carbonation is evident but restrained, lending the beer a soft, pillowy visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit, driven by the late-hop charge of Chinook, Simcoe, Callista, and Mosaic. Beneath the hoppy florals sits a subtle resinous undertone and soft, clean malt character. No harsh phenolics or sulfur—the yeast remains neutral and supports the fruit expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with immediate citrus and tropical notes that build through the mid-palate. The bitterness is moderate at 40 IBU, measured and well-integrated rather than aggressive, allowing the fruity character to remain central. Malz backbone is lean but sufficient, providing structure without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-length, trailing off with lingering citrus zest and a faint resinous aftertaste. No astringency or harsh residue—the beer closes refreshingly.
