Andy Smash
A hazy pale ale brewed with pale malt, oats, wheat and caramalt and hopped with Amarillo, BRU-1 and El Dorado. The body is light and the bitterness minimal. Orange dominates the aroma, and the palate reads like fruit punch, with pineapple and tropical fruit carried by a soft, lightly sweet malt base through to a smooth finish. Until the 2023 range update it was sold as a conventional pale ale before being reworked as a hazy pale.
