Foggy Day IPA

Tap to rate

Citrus-forward hops lead this hazy IPA, and oats and raw wheat in the grist bring the haze plus a silky texture. It goes out unfiltered, hazy straw in color, at 6.6% ABV and 55 IBU. The brewery's tip: turn the bottle upside down and tilt it gently before opening, so the yeast returns to suspension and releases still more flavor.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Foggy Day IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy straw yellow, opaque and full of suspended yeast that clouds the glass with a soft, diffused light. A dense, pillowy head forms on the pour and clings to the glass in persistent lacing. Gentle carbonation rises through the body in fine streams.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus zest—lemon and grapefruit—dominates the nose, supported by a subtle white wheat character and soft yeast presence. Behind the hop-driven citrus sit delicate tropical stone fruit notes that suggest passion fruit and peach. The overall impression is fresh and herbaceous, with no sharpness.

◐ Taste

Silky and smooth on entry, driven by oats and wheat that coat the palate with a creamy mouthfeel. Citrus hops assert themselves in the mid-palate—tangy lemon and subtle grapefruit—while a light fruitiness weaves through. Bitterness is measured at 55 IBU, present but never harsh, and balances the wheat-derived sweetness without overwhelming it.

◑ Finish

Clean and moderately dry, with citrus notes lingering on the lips and a faint wheaten residue that softens the exit. The finish is refreshing and encourages another sip without fatigue.

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.
