Hazy Pale Ale

TAKE THE FIRST SIP!
- soft, hazy, slightly emotional
- hops before speeches
- small SIP for you, giant SIP for us

Povodom otvorenja craft beer puba SIP izbacili smo Hazy Pale Ale First Sip.

U aromi i okusu prevladavaju citrusi i tropsko voće s blagom notom vanilije i kokosa u pozadini. Srednje je laganog tijela, blage gorčine sa srednje suhim završetkom.

Hmelj: Citra, Mosaic, HBC472, Sabro, Ekuanot

Can, 0.5l. Hazy yellow / pale orange pour, huge creamy white head, long lasting, sticky lacing on the glass. Green and fruity on the nose, strong citrus notes, grassy, herbal, light tart.

Light to medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Lightweight mouthfeel and texture, soft, fizzy, refreshing. Sweet and sour taste, light tart, mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Aroma of grassy hops, lemon, lime, grapefruit. Citrus peel, some tropical notes. Mango, pineapple. Minerals, light spice. Medium lasting finish, dry, tart, mild lingering bitterness.

Somewhat green but refreshing nonetheless. Good.

Canned... and just compare Armano's pic, on tap, with this... Shame they ran out if it at Sip itself almost immediately! Murky ochre body, off-white head, hope it's not too oxidized... Sweetish aroma, so much coconut it leans a bit on butter, some stone fruit underneath, slightly stale. Bit fuller body going dry towards the finish. Coconut, stone fruit, low citrus, mildly soapy, bit minerally, bitterish finish, teeniest of tiniest hopburns actually livening it up. Maybe not in top shape but not bad!
