This All Star Hazy Pale Ale presents a modern, hop-forward sensory experience centered on a heavy double dry-hopping. The interplay of Rakau and Idaho 7 hops yields a saturated bouquet of ripe apricot, peach, and tropical mango, while Amarillo contributes a bright, zesty orange citrus top note. Despite its hazy appearance, it maintains the approachable balance of a classic American Pale Ale, featuring a soft, bready malt backbone that supports the vibrant fruit character without adding cloying sweetness. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of pine needles and stone fruit.
Appearance.Pale golden with a distinct haze (SRM 5); features a moderately large, frothy white head with excellent retention and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical and stone fruits. Prominent notes of apricot, mango, and orange peel are backed by a subtle resinous pine. Low, clean, doughy malt serves as a neutral base with no significant esters.
Taste.Initial impression is fruit-forward with peach and tangerine, followed by a moderate hop bitterness. A light, bready malt flavor provides balance. The fermentation profile is clean, leading to a medium-dry finish where hop flavors linger without harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation and a clean finish without astringency or noticeable alcohol warmth.
