Downward Facing Fog
Humble Sea Brewing Co.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a thin layer and leaves a little spotty lacing.

S: Juicy tropical and stone fruit runs the show, some citrus, slight spicy grassy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Ripe tropical and stone fruit, big juicy nectarine, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and apricot, citrus, tangerine, lemon lime, and a touch of grapefruit, slight floral and grassy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate, just a touch of hop burn.

O: With a hop combo like that I knew it was gonna be good. There's something about the way the nectarine flavor just pops that I can't get over. Definitely cracks my Humble Sea top 5

Split an order in January, got 2 cans of this. 1st review of this beer on BA.

Pours a hazy yellow character. 2/5" white head. Some lacing. The aroma hit that Citra and little brother down under hop note. I would say Citra had the bigger impact with orange and tangerine being the most prominent aromas here.

The taste takes on plenty of the Vic Secret green bitterness. Now we're getting the hops going in three different directions. Plenty of bittering mouth feel of Vic Secret, Citra still pounding the orange and tangerine, Riwaka bringing that down under dank. Mouth feel is more bitter than your average hazy ipa, but this is a pretty big double approaching 9% abv, and it does do a real good job and not being all hot and shit.

Its kind of a different beer in a world full of all kinds of hazy dipas, brought something akin to a kitchen sink hop approach, but it works in most ways. Not quite elite 1st tier stuff, but plenty serviceable. Kinda pricey though.
