Long Exposure

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, hazy veil throughout—characteristic of the New England style. The head forms quickly and settles to a thin, wispy collar with modest lacing. Bright carbonation rises steadily, lending the beer a lively, approachable appearance despite its cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit—layered beneath white grape and stone fruit notes from the Nelson Bliss. Oat and wheat contribute a soft, bready undertone that tempers the hop intensity. The overall impression is fruit-forward and welcoming rather than aggressively bitter.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly creamy, driven by oats and wheat that frame the hop character without heaviness. Mid-palate develops layers of passionfruit, citrus, and white grape alongside a gentle, non-aggressive bitterness. The finish tapers cleanly, with lingering citrus and fruit without harshness or drying sensation.

◑ Finish

Dry but not austere, with citrus and white grape persisting for several minutes. The 6.8% ABV remains entirely in the background, allowing fruit and hop character to dominate the aftertaste.
