Production & Heritage

Lost Coast Brewery was founded in 1990 in Eureka, California, along the rugged Humboldt County coastline. The brewery employs a state-of-the-art vapor condenser system that recycles steam from boiling wort back into hot water for subsequent brews — an environmentally conscious production step that reflects the brewery's Pacific Northwest sensibility. This Hazy IPA uses East Coast Ale Yeast alongside barley and rolled oats to build its characteristic haze and silky mouthfeel, while generous additions of Mosaic and Citra hops supply the tropical hop character. The result lands at 38 IBUs — enough bitterness to provide structure without overwhelming the fruit-driven profile.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with a burst of citrus and tropical fruit — orange and passion fruit lead, followed by layers of grape and blueberry. A second pass reveals a subtle malt sweetness beneath the hop aromatics.

Taste: The entry is soft and juicy, with pineapple and orange arriving immediately on a pillowy, oat-driven body. Mid-palate, the Mosaic hops push toward overripe peach and tropical fruit, while a malty backbone anchors the sweetness. Bitterness is restrained but present, keeping the beer from veering into cloying territory.

Finish: The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering notes of citrus pith and light pine. The silky texture fades gradually, leaving a pleasant fruit echo that invites the next sip.

How to Drink Lost Coast Hazy IPA

Pour into a tulip glass or standard pint glass at 40–45°F to open up the hop aromatics; drinking straight from the can will mute much of the tropical nose. This hazy IPA is best enjoyed fresh rather than cellared. For food pairings, try it alongside spicy fish tacos, where the juicy hops cool the heat; a charcuterie board with aged cheddar, where the citrus cuts through fat; or grilled shrimp with mango salsa, which echoes the beer's tropical character.

Best For

• Backyard grilling sessions during warm weather
• Introducing hop-curious friends to the hazy IPA style
• Pairing with spicy or citrus-forward cuisines
• Casual weekend gatherings with a mixed beer lineup
