Never Known Fog Like It

◎ Appearance

Pours an opaque, murky yellow that obscures the glass, characteristic of the New England style. A substantial white head sits atop, displaying good initial retention and delicate lacing around the glass as it settles. The haze stems from unfiltered, unfined brewing, creating a distinctly cloudy presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit notes of mango, papaya and guava, layered with fresh citrus. Pineapple emerges alongside grapefruit zest, while a subtle resinous, spruce-like character adds complexity and a whisper of herbal edge. The aromatic profile reflects the interplay of Chinook, Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hop varieties.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy, with pineapple and grapefruit flavours developing clearly across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains moderate to low, never aggressive, allowing the hop-derived fruit character to dominate without overshadowing the underlying Malz structure. The body feels rounded and approachable, supported by the 5.2% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish turns dry, shedding the initial juiciness and leaving a clean, crisp conclusion on the palate. Aftertaste remains relatively short, with lingering citrus notes and a faint herbal dryness.
