Dank Juice
New Glory Craft Brewery

 

A: Pours slightly hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and leaves some nice lacing.

S: Juicy, fruity, tropical, citrus, light spicy herbal piney notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Citrus zest, pink grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine, juicy tropical fruit, passion fruit, mango, peach, apricot, cantaloupe, slightly dank spicy herbal notes, super faint peppery notes, biscuity slightly bready malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, somewhat soft on the palate but not full NE style.

O: Really nicely balanced. One of the better brews I've had from New Glory. Was expecting a bit more dankness and less juice, but I'm ok with this.

Can

A: Lots of hops with aromas of citrus, light tropical fruit and stone fruit and strong dank.

A: Gold color, hazy, with a moderate white head that quickly recedes into the glass.

T: Lots of hop flavor with citrus, dank, light tropical fruit, stone-fruit, slightly sweet, with a mild hop bitterness and juicy finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a soft mouth-feel, though a little thin.

O: Very solid; the beer has a great citrus and dank character. Very drinkable, though a little on the thin side.

From the 01/26/18 can release

Appearance - Pours slightly hazy and golden yellow in color with a white, frothy finger width head. Fair retention, resulting in a thin, broken layer of surface suds, thickening up around the edges.

Smell - Intense tropical aroma; pineapple and mango with hints of orange and apricot. Generic white bread sweetness sits beneath.

Taste - More mild in flavor than the nose leads on, but it's a nicely layered profile. Notes of pineapple, orange, mango and stonefruit mingle nicely upfront before a touch of pine and grapefruit add a hint of bitterness. Bready malt undertone. The finish is fruity with traces of dank bitterness.

Mouthfeel - On the lighter side of medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick drinker with an easy, slightly dry finish.

Overall - An interesting brew. Light and drinkable with just enough interesting flavor to keep it from getting boring. This is one I might have on tap again or pick up the occasional single can if/when available.

Pale straw color with the slightest amount of haze. Has a bit of a creamy texture with some fizz on the edge of the tongue. Smells dank and malty. Not getting much fruit. Tastes of dough, yeast and some fruit. It's good.

Can of unknown age into a tulip.

L: Pours brown bronze with 1+ finger of medium density greyish head with moderate retention and left mixed lacing.

S: Nose starts tropical with nectarine and apricot dominant, dank attributes are subtle. Greater balance is reached as the beer warms.

T; Follows the nose to a good degree, including its temperature evolution of proportion. Only difference for my palate would be some cantaloupe on the backend. Finishes with some (but not a lot) of bitterness, limited astringency, bitterness hangs just a bit.

F: Thinner bodied with medium carbonation, slightly lively on the tongue from carbonation but slick on the finish.

O: Normally when a beer is named "Dank Juice", I'm expecting something like Block 15 Sticky Hands. This is not anywhere near that for my preferences and palate, but I enjoyed it and will likely try to snag a 4 pack if there's still some left.

 

 

Thanks to eyebereej for sending this one! Reviewed from (long-standing) notes. Poured from a 16 oz. can into a J. Wakefield OG teku glass.

A: Hazy gold, with good visible carbonation. Forms a two-finger off-white dense head with great retention.

S: Dank indeed, with melon, orange citrus and tropical fruit hops as well. A white bread and biscuity malt body. Nice, though not huge. And not crazy cannabinoid or anything.

T: Melon, tangerine citrus, dank and tropical fruit (passion fruit especially). Mild resin and stone fruits as well. Biscuit malts add just a bit of sweetness but no caramel. It finishes with a significant fruity bitterness but not overdone.

M: Medium body, good carbonation sensation. The alcohol presence is about average - maybe a little prevalent but not obnoxious.

O: A good IPA, but not necessarily my hop preference. And not quite as dank as the name claims – I got more fruity-forward flavors than dank. But still, it's plenty good enough to enjoy for sure.

Not a lot to this one, drinkable for sure but not a lot of flavor. No real hop presence, I've had a few of their beers and they were great but I wouldn't go this route again. but Please try it for yourself. Cheers
