Deep within the mist, Smog Rat lurks. Bounding through the shadows with bundles of hops, this rogue uses quick reflexes to navigate the foggy depths. Loaded with oats and a combo of Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin hops for a soft mouthfeel and intense profile.
Cloudy, thick. A hoppy and hefty double NEIPA packed with citrus fruits.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of lemons, spices, hops, mango, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, hops, spices, mango, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. 8/1/8/3/16

Sweet leaning fruity number bringing lots of juicy sweet citrus and tropical fruity action, nice soft sweet malty backbone, touch of bitterness into the hoppy close.

Can 44 cl. Cloudy, opaque golden with a lacing, white head. Spicy, intense, dank hop aroma. Rich, sweet, tropical fruitiness - sweet throughout. Well made, but all those sugars are way too much for me personally. 150526

440ml can from Craft Metropolis. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is orange tangerine citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, fresh, juicy jammy orange citrus, light pineapple, light dank, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft light pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Mild hop spice. Mellow but pleasing winey orangey citrus. Mild hop spice on the finish. A tad sweet but the hop profile kept me coming back for more.

Cloudy, golden with a thin, creamy head. Faint lacing. Aroma of exotic fruit salad, with a hint of pine. Similar taste. Late pine and grapefruit albedo bitterness. Medium body with a velvety texture. Delicate effervescence. Definitely a sessionable experience, delicate, as if made for summer or a barbecue, and therefore dangerous.
