7th Day Brewery Hazy Pale Ale

Taking the place of past fan favourite Pacific Ale, winner of an AIBA gold medal in 2022, Hazy Pale Ale becomes the spiritual flagship beer of 7th Day Brewery. Pumped up to 4.4 percent ABV, it pours with a fluffy white head with a dark and cloudy gold hue that is pushing into amber territory. The aromas are a stinging pine bushell spiked with citrus.

On the palate, Hazy Pale Ale manages to be as bold as it is refreshing. Each sip is a round and robust punch that really settles on the tongue and between the teeth. Sharp grapefruit teams up with a surprisingly delicate hop blend to create something that feels like a hybrid bladerunner of a beer, one that could be sipped as a solo quiet one or gulped as an efficient summer BBQ lubricant. It's a beer that is ready for the pace you are about to set, and the definition of a chill one too.
