According to the description, it is a hazy beer characterized by a burst of tropical hop aroma, aiming for juicy aromatics and a smooth mouthfeel. Three hops are layered in a low-temperature steep, and the second dry hop adds Mosaic Quantum, a liquid hop concentrate from Abstrax Tech. Despite its rich appearance, it is said to finish with a refreshing drinkability.
The name "Fleece" refers to the wool from a single sheep. It folds that soft impression directly into the beer's name, giving it a playful touch that feels unmistakably Pekora Beer. Incidentally, this label won a bronze medal in the Keg category Hazy Imperial India Pale Ale at the International Beer Cup 2025, and this release can be seen as a new development in that lineage.
Fleece is not the kind of beer that wins you over through sheer flashiness; it is designed to keep you drinking through the balance of layered aromas and mouthfeel. It is a beer worth noting for anyone who wants to see how the Kawasaki-based brewery is updating the appeal of NEIPA.
