Leith Juice
Leith Juice is the brewery's flagship session IPA and has been in production since 2017. Simcoe and Cascade hops set the tone, with part of the hopping done at a reduced temperature to draw out flavour rather than bitterness. It pours a hazy gold with a full white head. The aroma is tropical, led by pineapple, with citrus notes behind it. The body is full and smooth for its strength, the bitterness stays restrained, and the finish is clean and fruity.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Leith Juice
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
