The Parkside Brewery has used 5 different hops to brew up the Parkside Motel Pale Ale. This beer comes in 473ml cans and pours clouded-golden in colour with a finger and a half of lacing head. There are some noticeable chunks that are floating the beer as well. The aroma is big with tropical fruit flavours of mango, orange, lemon and passion fruit. This likely has a strong Mosaic Hop contingent in the recipe. Tasting the beer it has a balanced sweetness and bitterness along side the big fruity hop flavour. Not overly bitter, there is just enough to balance the sweetness and make for a big flavoured, easy drinking beer. This brew takes the new-school mentality of a North East IPA, and scales it into a more balanced package of a 5.8% pale ale.
