Hoppy Pale Ale is Nirvana's everyday drinker — a session-strength 0.5% pale that keeps things simple. Mosaic hops are the whole point. They bring tropical fruit and citrus aroma that's expressive without being showy: grapefruit, pineapple, and a toffee sweetness underneath from the malt base. The pour is a clear pale amber with a lively white head. On the palate the citrus and mango notes carry through from the nose, a decent hop bitterness holding things in check so it doesn't drift into juice territory. The body is light and the carbonation natural, giving it a clean, sessionable quality. At around 30 calories per 330ml it sits at the low end for the style. Vegan-friendly. Available widely in cans from AF retailers and supermarkets, making it one of the more accessible picks in the Nirvana range.
