Dju{C} IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a pronounced haze from suspended yeast and hop matter, lending the beer a soft, diffuse appearance. The head is modest but persistent, with fine white foam that clings to the glass in delicate rings. Carbonation is moderate and lively, evident in the gentle rise of particulates through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—ripe mango, papaya, and passion fruit—backed by citrus peel and a subtle pine undertone from the Simcoe and Chinook. Citra and Sabro contribute additional layers of stone fruit and herbal spice. Underneath runs a soft, biscuity malt foundation that grounds the hoppy exuberance without competing for attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy, fruity sweetness—mango and citrus notes bloom immediately—before a gentle, restrained bitterness settles in around the mid-palate. The hop character remains rich and full-bodied despite the modest 5.5% ABV, while the malt provides a smooth, slightly creamy texture that prevents any harshness. Finish sees the tropical notes linger alongside a measured, clean hop bite.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with tropical fruit and citrus gradually fading into a dry, pleasantly bitter aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate clean and refreshing, with no lingering sweetness or astringency.
