Triple Juice Punch

Tap to rate

An explosion of tropical fruit from Citra, Mosaic and Sabro in a full, thick New England Triple IPA at 9.5% and 40 IBU that, in the brewery's words, drinks dangerously easily. It is brewed with the same malt and hops as Juice Punch (barley, wheat and spelt malt plus flaked oats), but three times as punchy. The second release in the 10 Years Edition series, revised with today's knowledge.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Triple Juice Punch

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a hazy, turbid character typical of New England style. The foam stands with moderate density and leaves a thin, persistent lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation registers as an even scatter of fine bubbles throughout the body.

pale goldenhazymoderate headfine carbonation

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus dominate the nose, with prominent notes of pineapple, mango, and grapefruit from the Citra, Mosaic, and Sabro hops. Beneath lies a subtle malt sweetness anchoring the brightness, with hints of wheat and oat contributing a soft, rounded character. The resinous edge remains restrained, allowing the juicy fruit to take the fore.

◐ Taste

Entry is thick and full-bodied, coating the palate with juicy tropical notes that persist through the mid-palate. Citrus acidity and subtle resinous bite emerge without overwhelming; bitterness registers at a moderate 40 IBU, serving as a framework rather than a dominant force. The wheat and oat malt provide a smooth, almost creamy foundation that masks the 9.5% alcohol effectively, allowing the beer to drink with deceptive ease.

◑ Finish

Finish is moderately long with lingering citrus and resinous notes fading into a light, dry aftertaste. The sweetness recedes gracefully, leaving a crisp, hoppy echo without astringency.

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.
