Juice Punch

◎ Appearance

Juice Punch presents a light, pale yellow hue characteristic of a New England IPA, with a distinctly hazy body from the suspended yeast and proteins. The turbidity is intentional and uniform throughout, lending an inviting, soft appearance. A modest white head forms readily and maintains gentle retention, settling into a fine lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—backed by pronounced tropical fruit character: mango, passionfruit, and a subtle coconut undertone from the Sabro dry-hop addition. A gentle sweetness emerges in the background, balanced by the Citra and Mosaic hops, which together create a fragrant, approachable profile without aggressive bitterness on the nose.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and light-bodied, with immediate juicy, fruit-forward notes that echo the aroma. The mid-palate develops layers of orange, stone fruit, and mango, with a gentle sweetness that rounds the overall impression without cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 41 IBU, arriving late and lingering mildly as a balancing partner to the fruit and hop-driven flavors rather than a dominant force.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, allowing the tropical and citrus character to fade gracefully into a faint hoppy dryness. Clean exit with minimal lingering sweetness, inviting another sip.
