This Hazy Pale Ale (often categorized as a New England Pale Ale) is designed to be the ultimate sessionable \"juice bomb.\" It captures all the lush, tropical aromatics of a heavy Hazy IPA but scales them down into a lighter, more approachable ABV. It is a beer that prioritizes \"drinkability\" and \"softness\" above all else, making it a perennial favorite in the Alberta craft scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeer Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfternoon Delight pours an opaque, milky straw-yellow with a dense, mousse-like white head. Its appearance is reminiscent of fresh-pressed pineapple juice, typical of the \"hazy\" style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is vibrant and incredibly fruit-forward. It leads with a massive hit of passion fruit, peach, and candied orange, followed by a subtle, creamy scent of vanilla and melon. There is no harsh pine or resinous scent; instead, it smells like a tropical fruit salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it is light-to-medium bodied with a remarkably soft, \"pillowy\" mouthfeel. It leads with flavors of ripe mango and citrus zest, backed by a gentle, bready malt sweetness. The bitterness is exceptionally low, providing just enough balance to keep the fruit flavors crisp without any lingering hop \"burn.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e It sits at a highly sessionable 5.4% ABV and a very low perceived bitterness, emphasizing flavor and aroma over \"bite.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The signature texture of Afternoon Delight is achieved through a heavy addition of flaked oats and wheat in the grain bill, which provides the proteins responsible for both the haze and the silky mouthfeel. It is heavily dry-hopped with modern varieties—typically a combination of Citra and Simcoe—to extract the tropical essential oils while keeping bitterness to a minimum. The brewery uses a specific \"Expressive\" yeast strain that works in tandem with the hops to produce those lush, fruity esters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"301133 - The Establishment Brewing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42444392169559,"sku":"125802","price":204.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Establishment-Brewing-Afternoon-Delight-Hazy-Pale-Ale.jpg?v=1766852640","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/establishment-brewing-afternoon-delight-hazy-pale-ale","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
