TASTING NOTES

Furbrew Hanoi Pale Ale

HoppyCitrusyClean

Furbrew's got this pleasant weight to it that sits in your mouth for a beat after you swallow. The hops are clean and straightforward—no wild citrus gymnastics—but they land with a slight pine undertone that feels intentional. There's a subtle sweetness in the middle that the 5% ABV actually amplifies rather than masks. It's the kind of pale ale that tastes like someone knew exactly what they were doing.

Love Lane Pale Ale

HoppyCitrusyCrisp

Love Lane drinks exceptionally smooth. At 4.3%, it's dialed in to feel lighter without tasting thin—the brewers clearly understand restraint. The hop bitterness is crisp and finishes clean, leaving your palate ready for another sip immediately. It's got decent malt body for the ABV, but it never announces itself. This is a beer that disappears into your evening.
