217. Southern Tier Brewing Co. (Lakewood, NY) - Lake Shore Fog

“Three words to describe Lake Shore Fog: hazy, juicy, refreshing. Three more: aromatic, delicious, golden. A year of brewing development has captured these attributes and rolled them into a brilliant new beer. We are using absurd amounts of hops, dry hopped on 4 different days, making it a juicy flavor and aroma bomb. A slightly malty sweetness balances a dry and very mild finish which melds perfectly with its hazy appearance. Tropical, citrus, and stone fruit, and pleasingly floral character is [sic] marked with notes of big, dank, resinous Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo hops. Enjoy!”

Yeah…and that doesn’t include the paragraph preceding it, which is a very purply description of whichever lake shore fog seems to have inspired this beer. Nice stone fruit up front, and a hint of citrus on the back end. The dry finish is pretty subtle. Excellent.
