🌍 Spain · Hazy IPA · One of 115 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

Fresh is the New England IPA at the centre of Oso's core range, hopped with Citra and Mosaic. The brewery describes a soft body and a silky texture carrying a firm load of hops without sharp bitterness. The aroma leads with citrus and tropical fruit: grapefruit and orange peel from the Citra, mango, passion fruit and a hint of berry from the Mosaic. Underneath sits a lightly sweet malt base, and the finish is round and gentle rather than dry.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel from Citra hops—layered over tropical fruit from Mosaic: mango, passion fruit, and a subtle berry character. A lightly sweet, soft malt foundation sits beneath, adding body without heaviness to the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and silky, with the hop character delivered cleanly and without harsh bitterness. Citra and Mosaic work in concert to deliver citrus and stone fruit flavors that flow smoothly across the mid-palate. The malt provides gentle sweetness and roundness, balancing the firm hop load with restraint.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, citrusy, tropical character as Fresh will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
