Juicy Lucy 15

Tap to rate

Yellow melon, ripe mango and peach run through aroma and flavour, the bitterness stays in check, and oats lend the body a velvety softness with a slight haze. Juicy Lucy was the first New England IPA the brewery ever brewed and the start of its love for the style. It is hopped with Citra, Citra Cryo and Mosaic.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juicy Lucy 15

◎ Appearance

Bright yellow with a soft, deliberate haze that catches light without obscuring the pour. The head builds quickly and persists with fine, delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation registers as gentle and refined, creating a fine bead that rises steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—peach and mango dominate—layered beneath bright melon notes. Citra and Citra Cryo hops deliver citrus brightness without sharp green character, while Mosaic adds a subtle tropical depth. Malted oats provide a soft, grainy undertone that anchors the fruit-forward impression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and fruit-forward, with peach and juicy tropical notes taking the lead across the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives measured and integrated at 50 IBU, never aggressive, and the oat bill lends a velvety creaminess that rounds the structure. The finish remains refreshing without drying, allowing the fruity character to persist gently.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with tropical and citrus echoes fading into a light grain sweetness. No harshness or astringency—just a smooth, refreshing aftertaste that invites the next sip.

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.
