JMJ

Tap to rate

Juicy tones and fruity bits define this classically styled hazy IPA, with Citra built to shine through Cascade and Amarillo. A boatload of wheat and oats shapes the body, and the hops are meant to be soft with a smoother bitterness and juicier finish. It arrived in 2023 as one of four new IPAs for The Lost Abbey, at 6.8% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for JMJ

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, opaque character that scatters light throughout the glass. A dense, pillowy head forms on the pour and holds with good retention, leaving fine Schaumkleiden down the sides. Bright carbonation is evident, lending an inviting, alive quality to the presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel from Citra—tempered by soft floral undertones from Cascade and Amarillo. Underneath, a subtle grain sweetness emerges from wheat and oats, without any assertive malt presence. The overall impression is bright and juicy rather than resinous or heavy.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and pillowy, with wheat and oats providing a creamy mouthfeel that sits low on the palate. Mid-palate unfolds with tropical and citrus fruit—peach, apricot, and orange—balanced against a restrained, rounded bitterness that avoids harshness. The 50 IBU sits comfortably in support rather than dominance, allowing the hop fruitiness to take center stage.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry yet refreshing, with lingering citrus and a gentle fade rather than a sharp cut-off. A light fruity sweetness persists on the aftertaste, maintaining the beer's approachable, quaffable character.

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.
