This Hazy IPA, aptly named THE JUICE, showcases a singular focus on Citra hops to deliver a vibrant sensory experience. The aroma explodes with high-intensity notes of ripe mango, passion fruit, and bright tangerine, characteristic of the heavy dry-hopping process. A clean, bready malt backbone provides a soft platform for the massive hop expression without adding distracting sweetness. On the palate, the flavor is deeply fruity, mirroring the tropical and citrus bouquet with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Low perceived bitterness ensures a refreshing, juice-like finish that emphasizes depth and drinkability over harshness, defining the essence of the New England style.
Appearance.Straw to deep gold (3-6 SRM); hazy to opaque clarity with a characteristic 'shine.' Features a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and significant lacing.
Aroma.High-intensity hop aroma featuring dominant tropical fruit, mango, and citrus notes from the Citra hops. Background hints of grainy, bready malt and subtle fruity fermentation esters; free from any diacetyl or harsh grassy notes.
Taste.Massive fruity hop flavor echoing the tropical and citrus aroma. Low to medium-low bready malt support. Bitterness is low to moderate and well-restrained, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish with a lingering essence of fresh fruit juice rather than hop resin.
