Please take my review with a grain of salt. I am enjoying this beer, but I think it was mislabeled.
Poured from a can, bought a single at Green’s in Atlanta, can’t find a batch or best by date.
Pours with a light straw color and a large, fluffy head. Had to pour gently, almost like a Brett beer.
Smells overwhelmingly like a Brett beer. Earthy, funky, with a little pine from dry-hopping.
Dry, barnyard, low acidity, citrus on the palate. Intentional or not, this definitely a mixed-culture beer.
I am so confused. This beer I am drinking definitely has tons of Brett character, but “Juicin” definitely isn’t supposed to. Cross-contamination in the brewhouse? A mistake on the canning line? I really like Brett pale ales, so I guess I’m not complaining, but I’m certainly perplexed.

Super thin, like a light Tropicalia; successfully checks the boxes of fruit flavors, but fails to deliver any punch; An ipa for beginners?

Poured from a 12 oz can into a clear glas tulip. No canned on date. Received from good bud Erinn as part of the summer ATL installment.
A: Hazy dirty blonde with 1-finger off-white head with decent retention and wispy lacing.
S: Big pineapple, guava, and grapefruit with minimal crackery malt aroma. No yeast character.
T: This is what I imagine a "session IPA" to taste like -- somewhat light than a 6.5-7% ABV IPA but still packing plenty of good hop flavor. It is a little light on the hoppiness in the flavor, but still nothing to downgrade much for with good grapefruit, guava, and weedy grassiness in there with a light grainy maltiness. No yeast character. Low-medium bitterness. Very good for what it is -- a 5.5% hoppy pale beer.
M: Very light, a little thin, and definitely not up to snuff for the American IPA style. Light bodied with highish carbonation. On target for session IPA -- way too light for the style it calls itself.
O: Really a true "session IPA" -- they need to rebrand this beer and get rid of the Juicin' -- stupid name.
