Juice Canoe

Tap to rate

Tropical fruit and blueberry meet a light aroma of citrus and black pepper, carried by a silky-smooth mouthfeel from wheat and flaked oats. Mosaic, Citra and Columbus provide a bitter bite that stays restrained. The name began as Juice Cadoo, a nod to founding brewmaster Peter Cadoo, who retired in 2023.
