🌍 Australia · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 23 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

An oat and wheat hazy pale ale hopped with Topaz, Mosaic, Idaho-7 and Calypso and fermented with a New England ale yeast. Tropical stone fruit and citrus dominate the aroma, the rolled oats and wheat give a soft, pillowy mouthfeel, and at 8 IBU the bitterness stays well in the background. It joined the core range in 2023 as the brewery's first permanent hazy beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Young Henrys Hazy Pale Ale

Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse quality throughout. The head is modest but persistent, with fine bubbles that cling gently to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a smooth visual presentation that signals restraint rather than aggression.

Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical stone fruit — peach and apricot — alongside citrus notes of lime and grapefruit zest. A subtle wheat grain character provides textural warmth beneath, while the New England yeast contributes a clean, fruity ester that keeps the profile fresh and inviting without any fermentation funk.

Taste

Entry is soft and pillowy, driven by the rolled oats and wheat contributing a silken mouthfeel. The mid-palate balances tropical fruit and light citrus flavors against a creamy body, while bitterness remains deliberately subdued at 8 IBU—more a gentle frame than a focal point. The finish leans clean and slightly crisp, with fruit notes fading rather than lingering.

Finish

Short to medium in length, with the fruit notes tapering gracefully rather than asserting themselves. A mild citrus dryness and faint grain sweetness form a balanced, refreshing conclusion.
