Juicy IPA

Tap to rate

An easy-drinking IPA brewed on pilsner and crystal malt with Cascade hops, which bring citrus character alongside a restrained bitterness. After fermentation the brewery adds mango and passion fruit, so both become part of the finished beer and leave it slightly hazy. Aroma: ripe mango, passion fruit and citrus peel. The palate is creamy and juicy with a gentle sweetness balanced by a soft, inviting bitter edge. At 4.8 % it aims at drinkers who usually find IPAs too sharp.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juicy IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden-yellow hue with a soft, peachy undertone from the fruit additions. The beer presents a light haze throughout, a visual signature of the added mango and passion fruit that remain suspended in the finished product. A delicate white head forms on the pour with modest but steady retention.

◌ Aroma

Ripe mango and passion fruit lead the nose, supported by bright citrus peel notes from the Cascade hops. The fruit character dominates without becoming cloying, while a subtle malt foundation adds gentle sweetness in the background. The overall impression is inviting and approachable rather than assertively hoppy.

◐ Taste

The palate opens creamy and juicy, with the tropical fruit additions providing natural sweetness that carries through the mid-palate. Cascade hops introduce a soft, measured bitterness that balances without dominating, creating an almost velvety mouthfeel. The beer maintains refreshing drinkability throughout, making it accessible to those typically put off by sharper hop profiles.

◑ Finish

A clean, medium-length finish with lingering notes of passion fruit and citrus that fade gradually. The restrained bittering leaves no harsh edges, allowing the gentle sweetness to persist pleasantly on the palate.

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.
