What the brewers say

"This IPA was made with fresh-squeezed lemon, lime, and orange juice from our cold-pressed juice machine."

What our panel thought

"Complex citrus—zesty lime, orange, lemon. Chewy mouthfeel, with pleasant, citrus-accented sweetness that balances the low bitterness. A bit muddled; wouldn’t mind a drier finish."

What our editors thought

"A citrus-juice explosion in the nose—vivid orange spiked with nose-piercing lime daggers. The sip settles into a more mixed-citrus expression, as hops and citrus bitterness creep up over more delicate fruit notes."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Jagged Mountain Brewery Texas Suitcase

“Subdued aroma of mild orange peel, soft pine resin, guava, light pilsner malt sweetness. The flavor continues the same trajectory with biscuit and pie crust, black pepper, anise, grapefruit peel, light resin, and grass. Malt sweetness helps showcase bitterness in the finish.”

Firestone Walker Brewing Co Luponic 18

“Sweet, clear notes of candied orange peel and lemon drop with fainter green-dank notes. A firm, quick, and clean bitterness drives into a dry finish. Crisp as all-get-out. Some carbonic bite. Refreshing, clean, addictive, without being hugely expressive.”

WeldWerks Brewing Co. Apha Bits #6

__Aroma:__ “Soft, rich, juicy aroma (almost Orange Julius without the sickening sweetness). Orange, lemon, grapefruit with bready malt in the background.” __Flavor:__ “Soft on the palate with moderate bitterness throughout that lingers into the finish. Despite the good head retention, the carb is fairly low. Citrus all day on this one with orange playing the dominant role. Somewhat chewy mouthfeel but light overall.” __Overall:__ “Very drinkable for how complex the hops aroma is. Nice beer.”
