Juicy Island

Tap to rate

Juicy Island is a proper jungle beer, packed with sun-ripened fruit and summer vibes. Papaya, passion fruit, plenty of mango and a shot of citrus dance across the tongue, all carried by a full body. Mosaic, Cashmere and Simcoe are the hops behind the tropical show, and the yeast works top-fermented. The brewery suggests burgers, spicy food, white meat and fish alongside.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juicy Island

◎ Appearance

Juicy Island presents a pale golden hue with a bright, hazy clarity characteristic of the New England style. The fine carbonation supports a pillowy white head that clings delicately to the glass, leaving soft lacing as you drink. The overall impression is luminous and inviting, with the haziness contributing to its tropical aesthetic.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately tropical and fruit-forward, with ripe papaya and passion fruit taking the lead. Bright citrus notes emerge beneath, anchored by the distinctive resinous character of Mosaic and Simcoe hops. Mango undertones and subtle top-fermented yeast esters add warmth and roundness, creating a layered, inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced mango and stone-fruit notes that coat the mouth with satisfying sweetness. A full body carries the flavour smoothly across the tongue, with Cashmere hops providing a soft, velvety backdrop. The bitterness remains restrained and integrated—45 IBU balances the fruit without asserting itself, allowing the juicy character to dominate through the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately lengthy, with tropical fruit notes lingering gently on the palate. A subtle citrus zest and lingering stone fruit warmth fade gradually, leaving a refreshing, fruit-driven impression rather than harsh dryness.

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.
