Slide

Ireland·Hazy Pale Ale
Tap to rate

Slide is a juicy, hazy pale ale of 5%. Wheat, oats and a little caramalt give it a soft, creamy body. El Dorado goes into the whirlpool, and the dry hop consists of Strata and Galaxy. Bright pineapple, dank resin and passionfruit lead the flavour, and a smooth, lingering bitterness keeps everything in balance. The moderate strength suits a long evening. Slide first appeared in 2024 and has been brewed again since.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Slide

◎ Appearance

Slide presents a hazy, golden-amber body with a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of the style. A modest white head forms on the pour and dissipates gradually, leaving light traces of lacing on the glass. The haziness comes from suspension through the mash rather than yeast, giving the beer a deliberately opaque, inviting quality.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical fruit notes—bright pineapple and passionfruit dominate the middle register. Beneath sit resinous, herbal undertones from Galaxy and Strata, adding a subtle dank character. A soft maltiness from wheat and oats provides gentle sweetness in the background without becoming floral or cloying.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and juicy, with the tropical hop character leading immediately. The soft, creamy mouthfeel from wheat and oats melts across the palate without heaviness. A smooth bitterness emerges in the mid-palate—moderate at 40 IBU—balancing the fruit without sharp edges, and carries through to a dry, slightly lingering finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and gently persistent, with the herbal and resinous notes lingering softly after the tropical brightness fades. Bitterness holds its place without dominating, allowing the beer to feel refreshing rather than astringent.
