Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for London Fog
◎ Appearance
Clear amber-brown body with a luminous quality characteristic of the style. A small off-white head forms and settles quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation supports a gentle, creamy visual presence.
◌ Aroma
Bergamot and black tea dominate the nose with a distinctly floral quality, evoking the tea drink that inspired the beer's name. Vanilla provides a soft sweetness underneath, while a light roast character adds subtle depth without assertiveness. The aromatics remain perfumed and restrained rather than heavy or aromatic-hop driven.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with caramel and malt character that feels substantial for the low alcohol. Mid-palate develops a light roast note balanced by trailing vanilla, while the tea character remains in a perfumed register rather than turning bitter or astringent. Creaminess runs through the entire experience, supported by smooth texture and clean malt backbone.
◑ Finish
The finish is short and gentle, allowing the beer to close cleanly without overstaying. A whisper of tea and caramel fades quickly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
