Pseudo by 8 Wired Brewing is a captivating hazy pale ale that showcases the brewery's innovative approach to hop combinations. Hailing from the picturesque Matakana region of New Zealand, this beer is a true delight for the senses. The appearance is striking, with a deep golden hazy body and a dense white head that leaves intricate lacing. The aroma is an explosion of tropical fruit notes, with passion fruit, mango, and pineapple taking center stage, complemented by zesty citrus aromas, particularly grapefruit and lemon, and hints of pine resin and dankness. On the palate, Pseudo delivers an exceptional flavor profile. The tropical and citrus flavors are in perfect harmony, with passion fruit, mango, and pineapple leading the charge, followed by grapefruit and lemon. The moderate bitterness is well-balanced by a subtle sweetness, and the subtle resinous and earthy undertones add depth and complexity to the overall experience. The medium to full-bodied, smooth, and creamy texture, along with the moderate carbonation, make this a highly drinkable and enjoyable beer.
