Ghost Rider
A 0.5% hazy pale ale from Tempest Brewing, hopped with Galaxy and Mosaic for passionfruit aroma and tropical fruit character.
About This Drink
Ghost Rider came out of a direct brief from Tempest's head brewer: build an AF beer with genuine hoppiness and mouthfeel, not an approximation of one. The grain bill backs that ambition up. Golden Promise, oat malt, wheat malt, and flaked barley create a soft, rounded body that carries the hops rather than letting them float on thin liquid. The hops are Galaxy and Mosaic - a combination that reliably delivers tropical character. Galaxy in particular drives the passionfruit aroma, while Mosaic adds citrus and blueberry underneath. On the palate you get citrus first, with tropical fruit building through the mid-palate and a clean, moderately bitter finish. The body is notably fuller than a standard 0.5% beer and that is the point. Vegan, cold-stored, and available in 440ml cans. For the hazy pale style in the AF category, it stands up well against entries from breweries putting serious effort into the format.
