Festival Express Juicy IPA
Five hop varieties — Azacca, Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Idaho 7 — bring tropical and stone fruit. Alongside them, red malted wheat grown in North Carolina, where Foothills sits. At 5.7 percent and 28 IBU, a juicy IPA that stays lean despite the fruit.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Festival Express Juicy IPA
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.
