Meet the cousin. Brewed with the same hop lineup as Son of Juice, Cuz of Juice takes the family tree in a crisp new direction. Clear and bright, with punchy tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and a firm, balanced bitterness. All the juice, none of the haze.

Getting the whole family of beer styles involved, Maplewood invites their cuz to the party. Sharing the same hop blend of Mosaic, Simcoe, Nugget and Warrior hops, this cousin beer goes dry and bitter.

Tarnish gold and moderately hazy, Cuz of Juice greets the eye with a foamy, cottony cap. As a sharp and citrusy scent of orange blossom, citrus, tropical, woodsy and herbal reel in the nose, it's first sip is supple with malt sweetness, carrying a sense of honey, graham cracker and bread crust. Hops abound on the middle palate and eventually dominate with orange peel, grapefruit, pineapple, apricot and peach. Bitter with fresh grass clippings, citrus peel and peppery pine, the balance shifts toward the hops to finish.

Cuz wants to be sharp, dry and bitter, but it's got a juicy character that shows that it's got a soft side.
