Lost Keys by Choice Bros Brewing is a hazy pale ale that transports you to the lush landscapes of Nelson, New Zealand. This 5.5% ABV brew presents a vibrant golden-orange hue, crowned by a creamy, pillowy head that lingers gracefully. The aroma is an enticing symphony of ripe tropical fruits, with notes of juicy pineapple, fragrant mango, and sweet peach, mingling with hints of citrus zest and a touch of biscuity malt. On the palate, Lost Keys delivers a balance of intense hop flavors and a smooth, malty backbone. The fruity sweetness from the aroma translates into a burst of pineapple, passionfruit, and grapefruit, while a hint of biscuit-like malt provides a sturdy foundation, preventing the hops from overpowering. The beer has a medium body, offering a velvety smoothness that complements the hop-forward profile. The carbonation is lively but not overly aggressive, creating a refreshing and satisfying drinking experience. The finish is clean and crisp, with a lingering bitterness that dries the palate slightly. The hop flavors persist, leaving a pleasant trail of citrus and tropical fruit behind. Overall, Lost Keys is a well-crafted hazy pale ale that showcases the vibrant flavors of New Zealand hops. Its tropical fruit character, balanced with a smooth maltiness, makes it an enjoyable and highly approachable beer.
