Stranger Fog

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a bright, clean presentation. A dense white head forms quickly and persists with fine lacing that clings steadily to the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a continuous stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive citrus notes—grapefruit and lemon zest—layered over herbal and floral hop character from the Edelpilz varieties. A light fruity undertone emerges beneath, with subtle stone fruit and melon notes. The alcohol warmth is present but restrained, supporting rather than dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with bright citrus and grapefruit bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-section. Malt backbone provides a clean, slightly sweet foundation without heaviness, balanced against the pronounced hop bitterness that reaches 70 IBU. The full body carries the intensity well, with a warming alcohol presence that adds depth without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness extending into the aftertaste alongside a subtle citrus fade. Alcohol warmth persists gently on the palate, creating a satisfying, sustained conclusion.
