Fuzz

Tap to rate

Fuzz is the house pale ale and the one beer the brewery keeps in production all year. Brewed with oats and wheat alongside barley malt and hopped with Mosaic and Strata, it pours hazy and smells dank and resinous, with ripe tropical fruit and berries behind. On the palate it is juicy and soft, with orange, lime and grapefruit over a full, chewy body. Bitterness stays moderate and the finish turns dry and slightly herbal. The brewery notes that the recipe may shift a little over time.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dank, resinous hop character typical of Mosaic and Strata varieties, followed by ripe tropical stone fruit and berry notes that sit comfortably over the grain base. Wheat and oat adjuncts contribute a soft, slightly grainy undertone without dominating. The overall impression is juicy and approachable rather than intensely sharp.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy, with bright citrus notes of orange, lime, and grapefruit playing across the mid-palate. The wheat and oat addition creates a full, chewy mouthfeel that balances the hop expression. Bitterness remains moderate and restrained, never aggressive, allowing the fruit and body to remain forward.
