    As mentioned, White Rajah I get juicy, as well as fresh Jai Alai and one that hasn't been mentioned - Clown Shoes Galactica fresh is reallllly orange juicy.

    I think a juicy ipa would depend almost entirely on how fresh it was.

    Grapefruit juice with half a bottle of vodka added. Blech.

    the BA Jones Dog. i had a bottle from the first batch and just acquired one from the most recent. saving it for a special occasion. I highly recommend the BA murderous. Their best BA offering to date IMO and i've had most of the BA stuff (incl BA cherry abduction:wink: #fobab2012).

    Nothing will touch Julius from Treehouse as far as "juiciness" goes.

    King Sue has to be the #1 juiciest I've had.

    I thought Focal Banger was one of the juiciest one's I've had.

    Sweetwater IPA!!! (please come to MD instead of OH)

    Does this brew not get any love on here or is it just not "juicy" enough?

    Ill throw out one that hasn't been already. Austin Beerworks heavy machinery Double IPA.

    If this beer got wider distribution it would be mentioned with the first class.

    Odell red IPA and St. Lupulin were both super juicy for me this year.

    Can't go wrong with Pipeworks Cascade Ninja or Amarillo Ninja, I think they're both better than Citra and Simco ninja in regards to being juicy.

    I wonder how much packaging and labeling influence our senses on describing an IPA as juicy? Obviosuly there are citrus forward taste notes on many IPA's but unless tasting blind, they can certainly influence.

    That means I better load up around here. But at 15.99 a 4 pack I can't go overboard

    It's $10-12 in Wisco. Load up- there is no guarantee they'll ever brew this again. I haven't noticed a big fall off on the hops, even at over a month old.
