Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Juice Punch

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of a New England-style IPA. The dense, pillowy white head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation animates the body, creating a visually inviting and lively pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruit—mango and passionfruit—layered with bright citrus zest and a subtle coconut undertone. The Citra, Mosaic, and Sabro hop combination delivers an interwoven profile of juicy intensity without harsh resinous edges. Soft, grainy malt provides a gentle supporting base without dominating the aromatic landscape.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and fruity, with tropical sweetness coating the palate immediately. Mid-palate sustains the soft, juicy character with integrated bitterness at 50 IBU—present but restrained, allowing the fruit-forward qualities to remain focal. The 8.5% ABV provides body and slight warming without alcohol burn, finishing with lingering sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel that softens the hop bite.

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 Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy 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 Hazy IPA

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