Tap to rate

Pineapple, grapefruit and candied peach lead, with a hint of white pine and low bitterness. Oats and unmalted wheat make up the soft base, and dry-hopping adds more haze on top.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Haze Charmer

◎ Appearance

Haze Charmer presents a hazy golden hue, characteristic of its style and achieved through generous dry-hopping and the use of oats and unmalted wheat. The cloudiness is substantial and evenly suspended, creating an opaque appearance that catches light warmly. The head is moderate and persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass throughout the session.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright pineapple and grapefruit, followed by a candied peach character that adds sweetness without cloying. White pine needles emerge in the background, supported by the herbal-floral notes from Mosaic and Lotus hops, while a subtle honey-malt undertone suggests the brewing recipe. The overall impression is of fresh, citrus-forward fruit with gentle botanical complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, the oat and wheat base delivering a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel without heaviness. Citrus and stone fruit flavors dominate the mid-palate, with pineapple and peach riding atop subtle honey-malt sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the hop character to shine as a flavor accent rather than a sharp bite, with a dry quality emerging toward the back palate.
