Symphonic Chronic Double Juicy

Tap to rate

Symphonic Chronic Double Juicy is the most fruit-forward beer of the brewery's year-round Symphonic Chronic line. Its recipe is simple: pale two-row malt and a single hop variety, El Dorado. The aroma is led by passion fruit, orange and guava, with ripe mango, pineapple and a hint of apricot behind them. Bitterness stays low for the strength, the body is medium and a little sticky, and the finish leans sweet with a touch of orange pith and warming alcohol.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant passion fruit, fresh orange, and guava, followed by ripe mango and pineapple in the mid-range. A subtle apricot note sits deeper, while the El Dorado hop character remains clean and expressive without herbaceous edges. Malt contributes only a faint pale grain backdrop.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with the tropical and stone-fruit character from the aroma translating directly to the palate. The body is medium-weight and slightly tacky in texture, providing a gentle grip. Bitterness remains remarkably restrained for a Double IPA, allowing the fruit flavors to dominate; the finish leans toward sweetness with a whisper of orange pith and warming alcohol heat.

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.
