Jucifer
Church Street Brewing Company

Somewhat hazy pale orange with two fingers of white foam. Smell and taste are exactly the same: huge tropical fruit and citrus with decent hop bitters, but finishes sweeter than expected, must have lactose. Good pine in the middle of it but want more. Devilishly smooth body, very bright and decent juicy. Tempting to rate higher on the first sip or two, but as you continue to imbibe the limitations become more apparent, so just good

 

Fine effort and a nice transition for those WCIPA fans looking to dip a toe in the NEIPA waters. You won't need a lifeline. Neither too sweet or overly juicy, it hits enough NEIPA notes without chasing away the pine bombers seeking to expand their IPA horizons.

 

Tasted in a snifter from draft at The Vine on June 22, 2019. A hazy IPA with an absolutely sinister amalgamation of hops, featuring Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Falconer's Flight. Almost entirely whirlpool and dry hop additions with a pinch of lactose for a soft feel and thick body.

 

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of orange, pineapple, grapefruit and caramel. Sweet tropical fruitiness with sharp bitterness and a toasted caramel.

Jucifer is a perfect example of an imperial IPA leaning more towards a New England type IPA. It's fruity, hoppy but not bitter at all. Simply full of flavor and refreshing. The 9% alcohol is definitely felt but in a good way.
I will definitely be coming back for more! I also recommend Devil's Advocate from these guys - another great beer!
