Fog Hazy Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Fog is the brewery's year-round hazy pale ale; the name goes back to the cloudy Fog beers it has brewed since 2018. A generous share of oats and wheat gives a soft, silky feel on the palate. The brewery describes a blend of overripe tropical fruit, bright bursts of citrus and a subtle hint of berries; the overall impression is juicy, rounded and refreshing.
