Dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jungle Juice IPA

Appearance

A bright golden-yellow hue with notable haze from suspended yeast and proteins, characteristic of an unfiltered, unpasteurised brew. The head forms with vigor and holds with persistent lacing around the glass. Fine carbonation creates an active, inviting visual texture throughout the pour.

Aroma

The nose leads with assertive tropical fruit — pineapple, mango, and passionfruit — alongside bright citrus notes of grapefruit zest and lemon. A subtle herbaceous quality from noble hops underpins the fruit, while fresh yeast character adds a clean, slightly grainy undertone that prevents the aroma from becoming one-dimensional.

Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with tropical and citrus flavours moving directly into the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the 60 IBUs sits cleanly without harshness, balancing the fruit character rather than dominating it. The body remains light and dry, emphasising hop expression over malt sweetness, with a clean finish that invites the next sip.

Finish

About American IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a American IPA?
