Andina Brewing Company Pálida Hazy Pale – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV | 35 IBU (C$4.18 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 27-Apr-2020, acquired 5-Jun-2020, reviewed 6-Jun-2020)
Appearance: opaque pale gold with two fingers of rocky white head diminishing gradually to a thin ring, spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild tropical & stone fruit, citrus, oats, earth. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes say this is hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo, but it’s not emphatically so. For me, a bit too much emphasis on the oaty, earthy notes, and a bit too little on the bright fruit and citrus. (14/20)
