Yule Hog

◎ Appearance

Yule Hog presents a copper-amber hue with a warm, inviting glow characteristic of its 20 SRM. The beer displays good clarity with gentle carbonation, and builds a substantial off-white head that shows solid retention and fine lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with candied fruit and gentle sweetness—dried stone fruits and a hint of orange peel emerge first. Underlying notes of toasted grain and subtle spice from the malt bill provide complexity, while the 24 IBU hops remain in the background, never assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced sweetness and ripe fruit character, balanced by moderate malty depth and a light roasted edge. The low bitterness integrates smoothly, allowing the fruity sweetness to remain the dominant voice without becoming cloying. The body is clean and approachable, typical of its modest 3.8% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-short and warm, fading gracefully into a lingering sweetness with light malt residue. A soft, slightly drying sensation concludes the experience without harshness.
