Crowea

Named after the delicate Australian native shrub known for its soft pink flowers, Crowea is Vertere's Hazy Pale Ale — and a quiet standout from the Okutama mountain brewery. Soft and beautifully balanced, it opens with aromas of tropical fruit and stone fruit with hints of white grape that are gentle and inviting rather than loud and assertive.

On the palate: faint peach flesh and sweet melon develop gradually, with a subtle peach skin bitterness on the finish that keeps the beer honest and refreshingly dry. Vertere's characteristic precision at its most approachable — an excellent, effortless hazy pale.
