Crank the Juice

Tap to rate

Citra and Mosaic carry this New England IPA: tropical fruit comes first, followed by a lemon zest finish, with only a touch of bitterness alongside. Wheat and oats give it a creamy body. At 5.5% ABV it belongs to the brewery's core range and is brewed year-round, so it also sits on the shelves of Albert Heijn and Jumbo.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Crank the Juice

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, creating a soft, diffused glow rather than sharp clarity. The head is substantial and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the creamy suspension without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately tropical and inviting—ripe mango, papaya, and stone fruit leap forward from the Citra and Mosaic hops. Beneath the fruit sit soft notes of oat and wheat grain, contributing a subtle creaminess to the bouquet. Lemon zest and a whisper of grass round out the profile, with minimal resinous or herbal character.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with tropical and citrus notes filling the palate cleanly. The middle develops a full, creamy mouthfeel from the wheat and oat bill, creating sweetness without cloyness. Bitterness arrives as a gentle thread rather than a punch, balancing the fruit and residual sweetness in equal measure.

◑ Finish

A clean, moderately dry finish with lemon zest lingering pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste is short to medium, refreshing and thirst-quenching, leaving no harsh edges or excessive drying.

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.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA
