Jungle Joy

Tap to rate

Jungle Joy is the brewery's modern take on a fruit beer: mango and passion fruit take centre stage, with no added sugar or artificial flavours, bringing fruity freshness and a pleasant sour touch. It won the community's election in 2016 against four other fruity beers. Pale, Munich, Pilsner, Vienna and Caramunich malts with Magnum, Hersbrucker and Mosaic hops. 5.9% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jungle Joy

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles to a thin collar. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a bright, inviting visual presentation typical of modern fruit sours. The beer maintains good lacing around the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit character: mango and passion fruit leap forward with authentic, natural intensity. Subtle herbaceous notes from Mosaic hops provide gentle complexity, while soft Malz undertones support the fruit without asserting themselves. No artificial sweetness or off-notes detract from the clean, inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate tropical fruit sweetness balanced by a pleasant sour edge that prevents cloying. The mid-palate develops a crisp, tart character with a dry structure; the fruit remains central while low bitterness (10 IBU) recedes into the background. The finish is clean and refreshing, with no residual sweetness or harsh tannins.
