Juice Bomb

Tap to rate

A New England-style IPA whose aroma centres on tropical fruit and citrus. On the palate the fruit comes with a grapefruit bite, and the bitterness is firmer than the name suggests. It is poured mainly at the brewery's own pub in Cork.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juice Bomb

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a hazy, opaque character typical of New England IPA. The cloudiness derives from yeast and suspended proteins rather than oxidation, lending a soft, inviting appearance. A generous head forms and clings to the glass with moderate persistence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—mango, pineapple, and stone fruit—layered beneath bright citrus notes. Noble hop character emerges without harshness, while a subtle grain sweetness frames the overall profile. The aromatic intensity is restrained and well-balanced, inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with tropical notes transitioning to a pronounced grapefruit bite mid-palate. The bitterness is firmer than the playful name suggests, building gradually and asserting itself against the fruit without overwhelming it. Malt provides backbone and a dry, clean body that supports the hop structure.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering grapefruit and herbal hop notes. The aftertaste remains dry and slightly bitter, fading cleanly without residual sweetness.

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.
