American IPA 6.6 º 55 IBU

North Coast Brewing Co.

North Coast Brewing Company presents Foggy Day IPA as a modern, unfiltered American IPA that leans into the hazy aesthetic. Heavy doses of citrus-forward hops drive the profile, offering vibrant notes of grapefruit peel and tangerine. The addition of raw wheat and oats to the grist provides a distinctive haze and a hallmark silky texture that carries the hop intensity across the palate. While rooted in the American IPA tradition, this expression prioritizes a lush, fruit-centric aromatic display over sharp bitterness. Expect a bright, juice-like character supported by a clean, grainy malt backbone, finishing with a crisp, refreshing dryness that invites another sip.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale gold to medium amber with a persistent, frothy white head. The unfiltered nature and use of high-protein cereals like oats and raw wheat create a characteristic translucent fog throughout the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus characteristics such as orange zest and lemon curd. Very low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a subtle background, while a neutral fermentation profile ensures the hops remain the primary focus.

Taste. Assertive hop flavors of grapefruit and citrus zest lead the palate, supported by a low, bready malt presence. The bitterness is firm but approachable, balanced by the softening effect of the oat-heavy grist. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering citrus hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable silky, creamy texture derived from the raw wheat and oats. Carbonation is moderate to high, contributing to a smooth mouth-coating sensation without any harsh astringency. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present.
