The Alpha Fog by Bootleg Brewery is a captivating New England-style IPA that promises to transport your taste buds on a tropical adventure. Unfiltered and hazy, this beer boasts a vibrant golden hue, topped with a thick, pillowy white head that leaves behind intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is intense and bursting with juicy tropical fruit notes, with ripe mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and passion fruit dominating the bouquet. A subtle hint of pine resin and floral hop character adds depth and complexity to the overall experience. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a symphony of tropical fruit flavors. Sweet mango and pineapple dance on the palate, complemented by tangy grapefruit and citrus notes. The hops provide a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness without overpowering it, resulting in a well-rounded and harmonious taste. The mouthfeel is fluffy, soft, and velvety, with a creamy texture that lingers on the tongue, finishing with a lingering hop bitterness and a hint of dryness.
