Joppa Juice

Tap to rate

A hazy IPA with a bright golden colour and a rich body, named after Joppa, the part of Portobello next to where the brewery started. It is double dry-hopped, with the Australian varieties Ella and Galaxy among the hops, and the brewery describes a juice bomb of peach, pineapple and subtle berry notes. One drinker adds fleshy orange and a bitter-rind edge. Oats contribute to the soft, full body. It has been brewed since 2023 at 5.4 %.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Joppa Juice

◎ Appearance

Joppa Juice presents a bright golden hue with a distinctly hazy appearance, characteristic of the style. A generous head forms at the pour, with moderate lacing along the glass as it settles. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and grain proteins, contributing to the beer's soft visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant stone fruit and tropical notes, led by peach and pineapple from the double dry-hopping with Ella and Galaxy. A subtle berry undertone adds complexity, while fleshy orange peel emerges with aeration. Beneath the fruit-forward profile, a delicate malt sweetness supports the aromatic composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and juicy, with the promised peach and pineapple developing across the mid-palate. A fleshy orange quality appears, layered with a gentle bitter-rind edge that prevents cloying sweetness. The oat adjunct contributes a soft, full body that carries the flavors smoothly, while the 50 IBU sits in balance—assertive enough to define the finish without overwhelming the fruit.

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.
