Wally Juice
Wachusett Brewing Company

 

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Apperance - The beer pours a super hazy orange color with a big puffy white head. The head fades very slowly, leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma is strong of a grapefruit smell mixed with lots of orange citrus and some tropical fruits. Other aromas of a herbal and grassy hol smell mixed with aromas of a light grain and hay.
Taste - The taste begins with a sweet orange and grapefruit flavor mixed with a strong herbal and raw hop flavor. As the taste advances more hop comes to the tongue adding more raw hop taste. Toward the end comes more sweetness of tangerine and tropical, leaving one with a sweet, but grapefruity and raw hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel - Thick with a higher carbonation.
Overall - A quite tasty brew with lots of grapefruit and raw hop. Well done!

 

Was very surprised to see Wally Juice rated so much lower than Wally. Don't get me wrong, Wally is a solid beer, but Wally Juice offers much more significant and rich flavor. Wally Juice pours deep gold, almost amber. It's much cloudier than Wally in the glass, and sports a pillowy white cap that lasts. The nose is thoroughly orange/tangerine. Flavor explodes from first sip, and though I've seen reviews indicating perhaps too much sweetness, I didn't find it that way at all. Abundant blood orange and pink grapefruit juiciness gratifies on every sip. Delicious!

 

 

 

The aroma and taste is overwhelming grapefruit. The flavor add statement is in an odd colored font that you have to tilt and rotate the can vey carefully to read. It would be very good to actually know if it’s blood orange or grapefruit since there are different contraindications with various medications such as statins, blood pressure, etc. I need to avoid grapefruit due to a statin, but I’m fine with blood orange. Would be good to be clear. It’s a very tasty yet sweet drink. I’ll probably give the rest away or have one per week til gone.

Man, I have to disagree with everyone on this. Can you get a better $1.50 NEIPA then these guys have released? It's a little sicky sweet but not that overly hoppy malty garbage that these guys are making you spend $18 for a 4 pack. I appreciate what they are doing with the genre on the cheap. Wish they had the 12 packs and more assortment down here in RI

From the can, it pours a hazy amber with a nice off-white head that slowly dissipates and leaves lacing. In the nose, it is fruity. In the mouth, it is fruity, with a base of malt.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy amber-orange color with a decent head. Strong aroma of orange - more like tangerines. The orange taste follows through strongly in the taste with a bit of hoppiness on the back end. Apparently they infuse this brew with blood orange juice and it somewhat overwhelms the beer. I would call this more of a fruit beer than I would an IPA. It's not a bad beer if you like that sort of thing, but it's not something I would seek out. No where on the can does it state that it's had blood orange added. I only learned it from the website.

WALLY JUICE - "Hazy, Extra Juicy New England IPA"
Wally Juice combines a crisp, acidic hop character balanced out with the sweetness of an all-natural blood orange infusion, creating a unique, reddish hued interpretation of the style. Wally Juice is a hazier, juicier sequel to our original New England IPA, Wally.

 

 

Looks hazy and smells like candy. Tangerine? Smarties? It’s fruity. If I were to order this at a bar I would drink it, but I wouldn’t order it again.

Poured onto a chilled Manson jar, let sit for a minute. Smells pungent, which I like, but is too fruity for my taste; needs more juice less fruit. (Doesn’t taste like juicy fruit)
