Juice Raptor

Tap to rate

Ripe pineapple, grapefruit, mango and orange collide in this hazy IPA, lush with tropical flavor and deceptively smooth. El Dorado, Mosaic, Simcoe Cryo and Citra Cryo hops do the work, and at 6.9% ABV the easy drinking is a trap: it may end up crushing you. It shares its Jurassic Jungle of Juice with Death Raptor.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juice Raptor

◎ Appearance

Juice Raptor presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy body characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy white head builds readily and clings to the glass with good retention. Fine carbonation creates an active, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive tropical fruit notes—ripe pineapple, mango, and grapefruit dominate immediately. Bright citrus oils from the Citra Cryo and Simcoe Cryo hops layer in orange and zest, while a soft floral undertone suggests the Mosaic contribution. The El Dorado backbone adds subtle earthiness without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy pineapple and orange, melding into a soft, full mouthfeel that belies the modest 6.9% ABV. Mid-palate reveals grapefruit bitterness balanced by a creamy, almost candied sweetness from the Malz foundation. The 50 IBU bitterness resolves cleanly without astringency, leaving the fruit expression in the foreground.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes fading gently into orange pith. Despite the deceptively smooth drinkability, a pleasant hop bite persists without becoming harsh.

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.
