Juicy IPA

Jacobsen Brewhouse
Tap to rate
🌍 Denmark · Fruited IPA · One of 23 Fruited IPAs in hopIQ

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.
