"It goes without saying that if you’ve spent any time in and around the Philly area you undoubtedly have heard your fair share of Philly slang and local colloquialism. Some things just scream ‘Philly’ so bad, it almost hurts. Anyone familiar with our Head Brewer knows he’s got a fondness for the linguistic arts as well. Whether it be his loud, booming Jersey/Philly accent cutting across the room, or his late night drunken German, there’s no doubting his love for the sound of the spoken word of any native tongue. He’s also got a fondness for easy drinking, hoppy beers. What do you get when you put the together? J.A.W.N. – Juicy Ale With Nugget. This 5.2% ABV American Pale Ale is malty, yet crisp, and is loaded with dank citrus, as well as tropical and stone fruit flavor and aroma from the gratuitous use of Nugget and Zythos hops."

Draft at brewery. Dark golden with one finger fluffy head. Light malty aroma. Taste makes the malts and hops more apparent, and theres a light smoky presence in there as well. Nice feel, but i wouldnt consider it juicy.

There’s some citric/astringent/medicine like hops in there on the nose. Not totally sure about this beer yet. Ok, on the flavor it comes through as a slightly medicinal vaguely citrus punch. Not much bitterness but the bite lingers in the aftertaste. Needs more carbonation badly. I would not seek this out again. Not sure how this gets a higher rating.

(12 oz can, Julian pack date late-Jan 2019, purchased cold... poured into nonic)
L: mid-range amber liquid, speckled with sediment; frothy head on pour, settles into misty cap, no lace
S: smells like weed when poured; deep nose dig detects strong raisin(?) scent and some mashed lemon chunks... vaguely (bourbon) whiskey tone?; perfumy-musky hops linger, leach up through back of nostrils
T: bruised grass and flowers, dried lightly-sweetish yellow fruits, honeyish bread dough plump in its base... dense, earthy malt and hop redolent; lightly perfumy-spicy hops; lightly leathery
F: plush texture and flow: pillowy body, satiny resins... dry-ish on the back end with delicate (black-)pepper-spicy heat lighting up mouth and nose
O: vaguely British nuances?... not a bad drop for something this far out from its canning - a lot to offer for 5.2%... I'll make a point of trying a more fresh example, but this wasn't half bad

On tap at their brewhouse. Poured into a pint glass.
L---Clear medium amber color. Thick head that faded and left good lacing all the way down the pint glass.
S---Hoppy, with malts as well. Citrus & floral with a bit of caramel.
T---Follows the nose, citrus & caramel.
F---Crisp & clean. Juicy, as advertised.
O---A nice offering by a good brewery. I'll take another, please.

Not very juicy and quite sweet. I sampled this at a tasting event and suspected it might be old (but why would they bring old stock to a tasting event?) but the cans weren't dated. Hmm.
