This I Know

Caledon Fog IPA

Caledon Hills Brewing Co.

6.5% Alcohol

The Hill folk start out their description of this IPA with the texting acronym IYKYK. I don’t know what that means, but what I do know is that every Caledon Hills brew to date has achieved super suds status. * Will this brew be king of the hill or are we heading for a foggy mountain breakdown? ** Time to pour and score this grog of fog.

A golden pour, dark but not ominous, with a foggy foam topper, frothy and solid. Tropical aromatic, sweet juicy and soft on the nose. The first taste is sweet tropical with mild malt to a hoppy mellow backend bite. It has a soft mouthfeel. What started as a sequence has begun blending into a busy and tasty concoction. Perhaps fitting the foggy foam is a solid persistent head that won’t settle for just anyone including me.  Big swig brings out some grapefruit bitters which stay in balance with the fruit sweet. A satisfying sequence that turns into enjoyable ensemble. And the super suds streak continues for CH.

*Editor’s Comment: The acronym IYKYK stands for “if you know, you know”.

**Editor’s Comment: The 1949 song “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” was written by Earl Scruggs and recorded by Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys. The song is a multiple Grammy award winner.

Final Rating: What I Do Know is This is a 15 out of 20
