Foggy Window

Tap to rate

Monkish's most-rated beer for a reason — a DDH double IPA stacking Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy for a nose of orange, grapefruit, pineapple, and mango. Pours creamy OJ-opaque, drinks with the pillow-soft mouthfeel that put Torrance on the map. Slightly resinous finish, unrepentantly juicy up front.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Foggy Window

◎ Appearance

Pours a hazy, creamy orange-juice opacity with a pale golden hue beneath. The head builds soft and pillowy, settling into a fine, persistent collar with delicate lacing. Bright carbonation remains steady throughout, keeping the body visibly effervescent without harshness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus—fresh orange zest and grapefruit—layered beneath ripe stone fruit and tropical notes of pineapple and mango from the triple hop blend. A subtle resinous undertone threads through, with just enough floral character to round the profile without dominating the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is unrepentantly juicy, with citrus and tropical fruit rolling across the palate immediately. Mid-palate maintains a soft, pillowy mouthfeel—the defining characteristic—while the resinous bitterness builds gently without harshness, landing around 80 IBU in a balanced crescendo rather than a punch.

◑ Finish

The finish holds a touch of resin and residual fruit sweetness, fading with grace over a medium length. Aftertaste lingers on orange and hop oils rather than lingering bitterness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
