Yule Juice

Tap to rate

A dry-hopped hazy IPA brewed for Christmas and part of the Amager Christmas Box. The brewery's backstory sends Santa to Tulare County, California for the other eleven months of the year, where he and Mama Santa run a plantation: a tongue-in-cheek answer to where he goes when he is not delivering parcels.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Yule Juice

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, diffuse haziness throughout the body, characteristic of the style. The dense, cream-colored head settles into fine lacing that clings to the glass. Moderate carbonation sustains the visual liveliness without excess aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant dry-hop character: bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lime sit alongside tropical fruit—pineapple and passionfruit—with a subtle stone-fruit undercurrent. A light, clean malt foundation supports without dominating, allowing the Edelhopfen profile to lead.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with immediate hop flavor reflecting the aroma's citrus and tropical notes. Mid-palate develops a creamy mouthfeel that buffers the moderate bitterness, keeping the beer approachable rather than aggressive. The 28 IBU sits in balance, adding structure without harshness; residual sweetness from the Malz complements the hop profile cleanly.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering hop flavor—citrus and subtle tropical notes fade gradually. A light dryness emerges without astringency, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.

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.
