This beer is born out of respect for a passing artist, inspired by their words and passion.
Nuclear Fog is an all encompassing power house of an IPA!
The aroma being a powerful dank tropical forest of ripe mangos and papaya.
From the initial taste of sweet over ripened peach leading into a complex blend of citrus rind, passion fruit and a delicate bitterness.
This full bodied TIPA embeds its bold flavours, leaving an aftertaste that pairs wonderfully with the warming quality of this mighty beer.

And let your armageddon blues turn to bliss"

Can from Eltham Wines. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Aromas of pineapple, mango, sweet citrus, peach, papaya. Flavours of mango, peach, nectarine, Seville orange, passionfruit, pineapple, nectarine. Oodles of sweet fruit in the finish with a spot of spicy hop lurking in the background. Very good.

Can. Pours murky banana yellow with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, with touches of yeast and notes of citrus. Bitter, hoppy and grassy flavour with ctiric and floral touches and round, sweetish notes of fruit, yeast and malt. Warming alcohol aftertaste. Well-balanced, satiating and very tasty. Very nice.

Can, 10.0%. Distinct hop aroma that bites my nose a bit. Very cloudy orange colour. Very small white head. The flavour is quite concentrated hop juice with a lot of sweetness. The hops bite a bit, but it is pleasant enough. The sweetness balances off the bitterness and hoppiness.

Murky yellow orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Fairly savoury front end to the hops. Just a light touch of pine. Reasonable citrus reasonably bright. Touch of peel. Modest stone fruits underneath. Finishes light, semi dry and savoury. Pretty drinkable but not blowing me away.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours cloudy murky gold with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, bright, juicy, tangy, bright pineapple vibes, nectarine, mango, peaches & cream, sweet - sour, sherbet and sour candy. The taste is dry, bitter, resinous, pine needles, weed, dank bong rips, spicy, toothy, filthy green vibes, melon, pithy citrus, grapefruit, pomelo, tangerine, tropical fruits, passion fruit, peachy, nectarine, resin and a kick of booze with a chewy, weedy finish. Medium to fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Bright, green and fruity. Good hit of bitterness. Really impressive stuff.

440ml can. Opaque pale yellow gold, small white head. Aroma of tropical fruit salad, passionfruit, papaya, mango. Taste of all the tropical fruits, ripe passionfruit, papaya, mango, peaches, tiniest hint of hop burn, absolutely no booze though. Full bodied, smooth and thick. Seriously impressive.
