Magic Mist

Tap to rate

A hazy pale ale modelled on the New England approach to hopping. It is straw-gold and cloudy under a thick, fluffy head. Mango and passionfruit dominate the aroma, with a little pine; on the palate come more mango, grapefruit zest and a resinous citrus note, with faint orange and strawberry in the background. The body is full and soft, bitterness is low, and the finish is smooth.

◎ Appearance

Straw-gold in color with pronounced cloudiness throughout the glass, characteristic of the New England Hazy Pale Ale style. A thick, fluffy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving persistent lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by ripe stone fruit and tropical character: mango and passionfruit are immediately evident, supported by a subtle pine undertone from the noble hops. A light citrus complexity rounds out the aromatic profile without overwhelming the fruit-forward impression.

◐ Taste

Mango carries through from the nose into the palate, joined by bright grapefruit zest and a resinous citrus bite. Faint notes of orange and strawberry linger in the background, while the full, soft body provides a creamy mouthfeel that balances the restrained 40 IBU bitterness. The finish remains clean and smooth, allowing the citrus and fruit notes to fade gradually without astringency.
