Juice Junkie

Tap to rate

Juice Junkie is a New England-style IPA: hazy, chewy and tropical, smooth and creamy in the mouth, with exotic pineapple and mango notes and a less bitter take on the style than a classic IPA. Pilsner malt, malted wheat and oat flakes meet a less flocculant yeast and an all-aromatic hop bill with Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic, among others. 5.4% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juice Junkie

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with pronounced haze throughout, lending an opaque, milky appearance characteristic of the New England style. The dense, creamy head builds generously and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Gentle carbonation produces a soft, pillowy foam.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruit—pineapple and mango dominate the profile, layered with subtle citrus highlights from the Citra and Simcoe hops. Soft wheat and oat malt provide a gentle, sweet backdrop without any grassy or herbal edge. The yeast remains clean and unobtrusive, allowing the aromatic hop character to breathe.

◐ Taste

The entry is smooth and creamy, driven by malted wheat and oat flakes that build a velvety mouthfeel. Mid-palate delivers concentrated tropical fruit—mango juice forward, with brisk but restrained hop bitterness (50 IBU) that never overwhelms. The finish resolves with juicy, refreshing citrus notes and a subtle dry edge.

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.
