Panhead Pickup HIPA 6x330C

In the can it is the bigger of Panhead's two hazy beers, at 5.9%. The brewery describes it as loaded with papaya, nectarine, citrus and melon, so the aroma leans soft and juicy rather than piney. A touch of bitterness at the end stops that fruit from turning sugary and keeps the finish balanced.

That ripe stonefruit character is a good match for food with some heat and some sweetness. Grilled prawns with chilli, fish tacos with a mango salsa, or a Thai green curry all hold their own against it. The six cans are 330ml each.
