Shore Lines

Tap to rate

Two worlds in one glass: London Ale III blended with a classic Belgian Wit yeast gives a soft New England feel with a fresh, spicy Witbier twist. Citra and Sabro bring citrus, tropical fruit and a touch of coconut, and the beer comes out fruity and slightly herbal. Oats and wheat keep the mouthfeel smooth, and at 7% it is far easier drinking than the strength suggests. Released in August 2026.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Shore Lines

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a slightly hazy, turbid character—the result of suspended yeast and wheat proteins. The head is bright white and holds with moderate persistence, leaving fine lacing on the glass. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from Citra hops, followed by tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit—with a subtle coconut undertone from Sabro. Belgian wit character adds a distinctive spice (coriander, clove) and herbal quality, while soft oat and wheat notes provide a gentle cereal backbone. No harsh alcohol burn despite the 7% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, opening with fruity sweetness and citrus that transitions into tropical notes across the mid-palate. Wheat and oats deliver a creamy, full body without heaviness. Bitterness and hop character emerge gently in the mid-to-late palate—around 60 IBU—balancing the fruit without dominating. A touch of herbal spice lingers subtly.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
