Juicy Lucy Double

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haziness throughout, characteristic of the New England IPA style. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation is visible as fine bubbles rising through the opaque body.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit esters dominate the nose, with distinct notes of mango and pineapple melding into ripe stone fruit. Orange peel adds a fresh citric brightness, while soft, doughy notes from the malted wheat and oats create a bready sweetness underneath. The New England yeast contributes a gentle, clean fermentation character without sharp phenolics.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with juicy tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit notes are prominent—followed by a subtle wheat sweetness and light biscuit grain character from the oat and barley bill. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt to lead; hop character is present but integrated rather than assertive. The body is smooth and full without heaviness, with good balance between sweetness and subtle drying herbaceous notes.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering tropical fruit and a gentle, warming alcohol presence appropriate to the 8% ABV. The aftertaste trails off cleanly without cloying residue, leaving only a soft fruity memory and faint orange zest.
