Juice Dust

Tap to rate

Citrus and sweet tropical fruit take the lead, with moderate sweetness, a subtle bitterness and a medium body. Real orange juice goes into the brew, alongside pale malt, rolled oats and honey, hopped with Chinook, Citra and Amarillo, the same trio as its namesake. Part of the Space Dust Series, it keeps that IPA's familiar hop profile at 8.2 % ABV.

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The head builds quickly and maintains moderate retention, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the glass. Light lacing clings to the sides as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Vibrant citrus and orange dominate the nose, lifted by Citra and Amarillo hops with their characteristic floral and fruit-forward character. Sweet tropical notes emerge beneath, supported by gentle honey and the soft grain of pale malt and rolled oats. No harsh phenolics or yeast-driven funk—clean and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright orange and grapefruit notes from the real juice and noble Edelhopfen, followed by a medium body underpinned by oat and malt sweetness with subtle honey character. Moderate bitterness arrives mid-palate without overshadowing the fruit, creating balance rather than aggression. The finish stays clean, with residual juice-like sweetness fading into a dry, slightly resinous conclusion.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering orange zest and a whisper of hop resin. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, with no cloying sweetness or harsh alcohol heat despite the 8.2% ABV.

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.

About Fruited IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Fruited IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Fruited IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, orange, tropical character as Juice Dust will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
