Juicy!

Tap to rate

A double IPA hopped almost entirely at the end of the boil, which draws out aroma and flavour while keeping measured bitterness low for the strength. Citra, Mosaic and Ekuanot push pineapple, mango, tangerine and a soft berry note forward, and wheat in the grist gives the full, slightly hazy body that carries them. At 8 percent the alcohol stays folded into the fruit, with a rounded, faintly sweet finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juicy!

◎ Appearance

Light golden with a soft haze throughout, characteristic of the wheat component in the grain bill. The head is generous and persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in delicate patterns. Bright and inviting, the slight turbidity signals the brewers' commitment to preserving aromatic oils and hop character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—ripe pineapple and mango leap forward, underpinned by tangerine zest and a gentle berry undertone. The late-addition hopping strategy keeps the aroma fresh and fruity without aggressive resin or herbal notes. A whisper of soft, grainy sweetness from the wheat rounds the profile without demanding attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and full-bodied, with fruit flavors mirroring the aroma—juicy tropical notes and citrus brightness dominate the mid-palate. The wheat backbone delivers weight and a slightly creamy mouthfeel that supports the hop character without harshness. Bitterness remains restrained and measured, sitting in the background rather than asserting itself, allowing the fruit to sustain through to the close.

◑ Finish

The finish unfolds with a rounded, faintly sweet character as the alcohol dissolves seamlessly into the fruity matrix. A gentle fade leaves a pleasant, lingering impression of citrus and stone fruit without astringency or heat.

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.
