No-Li Brewhouse Big Juicy IPA

What the brewers say

"A light malt foundation layered with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes."

What our panel thought

"Tropical-citrus aroma—orange slices, grapefruit peel, biscuit, cooked sugar, light floral. Medium bitterness smoothed by medium-high doughy-malt sweetness—and bright, fresh, clean, citrus-juicy flavor, leaning lemon-lime. Rolls into dryness, finishing clean and leaving the palate wanting more. On the refreshing end."

What our editors thought

"Understated nose: subtle grain, citrus. Flavorwise, it dives into the orange-juice pool headfirst, unconcerned with the question of depth. Simple and straightforward."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Uhl’s Brewing Co Hop Down

“Bright citrus all the way: lemon, naval orange. Toasty malt adds a counterpoint to the citrusy flavors. Hazy and full bodied. Medium-low bitterness. Semidry finish with a relatively short hoppy aftertaste. Low carbonic bite.”

High Branch Brewing Co Whatcha Know About Little Vic Secret and Citra

“Sticky overripe fruits greet your nose, and the flavor follows suit. An almost vanilla-like character pairs well with the fluffy mouthfeel, which is quite enjoyable. Bitterness is subtle. Some light alcohols support.”

Station 26 Brewing Co. Juicy Banger IPA

__Aroma:__ “Dry and bitter pith (lemon, orange, grapefruit). Substantial pine notes play a supporting role. Clean and citrusy. Dank and skunky—not quite college dorm room. Strong hops aroma, mild caramel/toasty malt, some tropical fruit (pineapple, mango).” __Flavor:__ “Dank, resinous flavor, nice and strong, plus a rich citrus complexity. Slides smoothly into a rich bitterness. Moderately strong malt but still subservient to the hops. Clean, smooth bitter finish, with medium sweetness. Spicy notes, too, from the hops: oregano mostly. Tropical fruit.” __Overall:__ “There were nice citrus notes with some hops complexity. The bitterness was balanced to the beer and not overpowering. Stands out late in the tasting.”
