Bursting with notes of tropical fruit, Son of Juice features loads of Mosaic, Simcoe and Nugget hops. Pilsner malt and oats lend to a soft body and touch of haze, making for a juicy, low-bitter IPA.

Yellow gold in color. Grapefruit and orange aroma. Taste is the same. For a hazy, somewhat thin body. OK, maybe not a classic NEIPA, but a tasty easy-drinking people pleaser.

Pours a bright yellow, light head and moderate lacing. Aroma is tropical and fresh. Profile is all juice, touch of mango with a surge of pineapple and grapefruit. Finishes sharply sweet. Soft feel to this. Well done

Maplewood's Son of Juice is my favorite Hazy IPA right now. It's readily available here in the suburban Chicago area and is superior (imo) to other hazy's like Bells Official and 3 Floyds Barbarian Haze. Make sure to check the canned date to find it less than 10 weeks old. I've tried a few of Maplewood's other high quality IPAs and am looking forward to visiting their brewery in Chicago sometime soon!

Translucent, even semitransparent, orange pour, with fluffy white head, decent lacing. Nose is very quiet, but the flavor is orange with just a bit of crème soda. Finish is mildly bitter. Decent, drinkable NEIPA.
