The Hazy Pale follows the same philosophy as NuWave's lager but lands in different territory. The base is a hazy pale ale built with malted barley, maize, rye malt and rice hulls, giving it a soft, pillowy body. The hop selection handles the tropical fruit character. The botanical package is the same: ashwagandha, maca, lion's mane, guarana and pepper, with heat-treated Bifidobacterium strains finishing the blend. It pours hazy pale gold. Mango and peach come through on the nose with a light bready grain beneath. On the palate it's juicy and fruit-forward, with stone fruit sweetness and a mild herbal warmth from the botanicals that sits in the background rather than taking over. The finish softens to a gentle sweetness with little bitterness. It's a credible hazy pale in its own right. The botanical additions are quiet enough that you can just drink it as a beer.
