Jasper Jr. is a quintessential Hazy IPA that showcases the vibrant depth of Citra hops. It pours a luminous, opaque pale gold, leading with a massive sensory wave of tropical intensity. Expect dominant notes of ripe mango, passion fruit, and bright lychee, underscored by a zesty grapefruit and lime peel freshness driven by the Citra variety. The palate is defined by a soft, plush texture that carries these lush fruit flavors across a bready, wheaty malt base. A restrained bitterness ensures a smooth, juice-like finish that remains refreshing, making it an approachable yet complex expression of a single-hop showcase.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (3-5 SRM) with a significant, opaque haze. Topped with a dense, meringue-like white head that shows high retention and persistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma characterized by intense grapefruit, melon, and tropical stone fruit. A clean, lightly bready and grainy malt backbone provides a subtle platform, while fermentation esters remain neutral to mildly fruity.
Taste.High to very high fruity hop flavors of mango, tangerine, and lime. The malt flavor is low but supportive with a cracker-like quality. Bitterness is moderate and well-masked by the body, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish without any harsh or grassy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notably soft, pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. No perceived alcohol warmth or astringency is present.
