Fuzzy Rat

◎ Appearance

Golden amber with a pale straw hue, reflecting the extra pale malt base and wheat adjuncts. The beer presents with excellent clarity and a persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from Citra and Enigma hops, immediately followed by distinctive gooseberry and green fruit character. Beneath the hop-driven profile lies ripe stone fruit—particularly peach—with a gentle sweetness from the oat and wheat base. The alcohol remains well integrated, allowing the complex fruit interplay to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is soft and full-bodied, with the flaked wheat and jumbo oats delivering a rounded mouthfeel and subtle sweetness. Mid-palate develops layers of tart green fruit against the warmth of peach and citrus, while the moderate 60 IBU bitterness provides restraint rather than dominance. The 7.7% ABV carries through without harshness, keeping the profile balanced and approachable.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with a gentle tartness that lingers on the palate, echoing the gooseberry notes. Drying persists without becoming astringent, leaving a clean and slightly fruity aftertaste.
