A hazy pale ale.

Notes about the brew:

Back in 2016 when Medicine Hat Brewing Company first opened its doors, co-owner and head chef Brennan established a food truck named “Hoppy Hatter”. Fast forward to 2020 and that food truck can no longer be found driving the streets of Medicine Hat but Chef Brennan has turned the MHBC kitchen into a culinary destination for guests. This hazy pale ale was created as a cheers to our wonderful culinary team.

Appearance - Pours a hazy pineapple gold with three fingers of frothy white head.

Smell - citrus and tropical hops, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, citrus and orange peel, hint of grapefruit peel, hint of papaya, and hint of both mango and passion fruit, bready malts, and earthy yeast.

Taste - bold citrus and tropical hops upfront then quickly goes into bold notes of citrus and orange peel, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, hint of grapefruit peel, hint of papaya and passionfruit. The brew then goes into the bready malts and caramel. The earthy yeast rounds out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops and fruits lingering.

Overall - A solid APA that boasts a pleasant and bitter citrus profile. This is my first go with this brewery, and I'm impressed.
