Dreams in the Fog
Barrel Theory Beer Company

16oz can. Bottom date stamp for canning is '08/27/25', 2-1/2 weeks in the can.
Hazy, straw colored body. One thick finger of pillowy, white head, and this continues as a full cap. Leaves behind some thick lacing strings.
Aroma exudes from the glass, with citrus and tropical fruits (lemon, mango, pineapple), dank herb, and onion.
Taste has a quick burst of sweet ripe fruit up front and then a little fade to herbal resin. Flavors of orange, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, mango, melon, berry, and a hint of mint. Aftertaste resonates with the herb/fruit concoction.
More than medium mouthfeel. Soft texture. Produces some tongue numbness with its hop resins. Very good carbonation.
Presents its nose and flavors with vigor but somewhat short lived.

A - Pours out mostly opaque, a light orange body and an off-white head, reducing to a thin line.

S - Orange and mango, grapefruit and passionfruit, tropical funk, with a soft note of grassy hops.

T - Lush and bright, with big orange juice, a bit of mango and passionfruit, opens with sharp acidity in the middle as grapefruit and tangerine punch forward. The juiciness fades in the close, with acidity lingering over just a touch of pith.

M - Moderate weight, decent carbonation, and scrubbing acidity in the close.

O - Barrel Theory brought its A-game for its collab with France 44. Big, burly flavors, and a solidly built feel all work to deliver something pretty delicious.
