Juice Bomb
Sloop Brewing

 

A murky orange/brown color. Thick white head that disappears quickly. Nice lace.
Fruity aroma, both tropical and citrus.
Taste of pineapple, mango, orange. Late pine.
Medium-bodied, nice hop bitterness.

12 oz can from the Wall of Beer in Clemson SC ($2.29).

Appearance. Cloudy and murky golden body with a relatively weak head.

Aroma. Fruity with a mix of citrus, pineapple and other typical fruits.

It looks juicy, it smells juicy, and then there's the name, so it's no surprise that it tastes juicy. Detractions include the lightly astringent and thin body, and overly obvious ABV.

Pours a hazy orange color with a creamy white head - looks like orange juice in my glass, if orange juice left white lacing as you drank it. Dank tropical citrus notes on the nose, including mango, pineapple, and ripe tangerine.

The mango and pineapple are forward on the taste and delicious, with the ripe tangerine at the back of the palate, providing a nice touch of bitterness, coasting into a bit of creamy oats for a smooth finish.

The mouthfeel is medium and soft. What a fantastic beer this is.

I had one on tap at the Westchester Marriott bar in Tarrytown NY. Served in the dreaded chilled glass so head and lacing were minimal. Nice hazy yellow color. Aroma and taste featured pineapple and tropical fruit. There was a floral aspect in the nose as well and a little sweetness. Mouthfeel was crisp and fairly light. Not a whole lot of bitterness in this beer, just enough to cut the sweetness from the fruity aspect. I tend to like more hoppy, robust IPA's more, but this beer was enjoyable and in keeping with the NEIPA style.

Poured from a 12 oz. can - Single for $2.99 - no canning date
Look - juicy, hazy, orange and golden, small white head, very good lacing
Smell - citrus, orange, grapefruit, mango, hop spice
Taste - mango, grapefruit, ripe citrus, pineapple
Feel - soft and creamy, lightly carbonated, low bitterness
Overall - This is one smooth brew, maybe a little too smooth. Any sweet fruit flavor followed by the low hop bitterness fades quickly. For me, I would have liked more bitterness but it's still good. I rocked this brew down with the BulletBoys - Smooth Up in Ya.

A thick hazy pour. Pretty good, a little bitter but not overwhelming. A solid IPA.

 

 

 

 

 

A really underaged and fantastic NEIPA. Very juicy and tropical, soft body and bitterness, not too sweet. World Class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz can from Tavour. Pale, hazy yellow golden pour, small foamy head. Light hoppy aroma, citrusy, pine needles. Slick, smooth feel, taste is piney, citrus.

 

 

Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade.
Hazy dark yellow with a small bubbly white head that slowly recedes.
Juicy tropical and citrus with bits of sweet bread and grass to counter.

 

Had a draft in a pint glass, at Thirsty Moose Taphouse, Portsmouth NH. (Over 116 beers on tap) Nice two finger head, excellent lacing, cloudy orange color. Smooth, but not as sweet as the the NEIPAS, that I prefer. Left me with a flat finish.

 

 

Solid NEIPA. Drank ON draft at Dino BBQ in Rochester 8.2.2022. Herbaceous and citrusy. Very cloudy. Good aftertaste. Not a lot of bitterness. Wife (non-IPA) drinker was inspired to say “I need to find more IPAs (like this) that I would like,” especially during winter months, she added.

 

 

 

 

Cloudy, orange appearance with a large white head and good lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit pairing with citrus. Soft, fruity taste that keeps the bitterness pretty much out of the equation. Citrus, along with an herbal edge, a bit more pronounced in the aftertaste. Rounded mouthfeel, medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Probably more appreciated by NEIPA enthusiasts than someone like me.

always a solid bet for an ipa. it's the kind of ipa non-ipa drinkers will drink. great starter for someone getting into ipas.

Lightly sweet with low bitterness. I get mango and peach primarily with some citrus at the edges. Damn tasty.

 

 

 

Probably the most generic New England style IPA I’ve ever had.
