Return of the Juice
Equilibrium Brewery

Hazy amber body topped white the prettiest cloud white foamy head. Aroma: smells like an IPA, hops, malt & citrus. Tastes: Bitter with a sweet finish. Flavors: oranges, more oranges, mild hop flavors, malted grain & lots of citrus. Very juicy. Feel: slightly thin, good carbonation & no sign of the 8%. Overall: an excellent thirst quencher.

 

Return of the Juice pours a cloudy, orangish/yellowish color with a huge, long-lasting, and lacing head. The aroma is strong, with orange and pineapple notes. The flavor is the same: strong pineapple and orange flavors in this IPA. Good feel. Overall, it is very juicy, with lots of fruit notes.

 

Pours pale orange with a white hue and an opaque transparency. Head is two fingers of dense white foam. Aroma is papaya and orange rind in an orange julius like blend. Flavor profile is papaya, orange rind, and tangerine. Really potent, with forward juiciness. No bitterness. Mouth feel is lightly creamy and soft with a medium thickness. Overall, a potent, juice forward DIPA.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can. Reviewed from notes.

T: Tangerine, mango cream, soft lemon, orange zest, sweet grapefruit, and hints of lime, white grape, and pine.
M: Light medium body. Pillowy soft feel! Layers of citrus and tropical sweetness. Lots of hop expression playing out! Lingers nicely on the palate.
D: Wow is this a special beer! In a very competitive category, this one is top notch! Seek it out!

 

 

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, pineapple and sweet bready malt. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

Certainly lives up to the juice part of the name. Citrusy, zesty, notes of grapefruit, pineapple, and orange. Slightly malty and oaty, more so than the average NEIPA. Bit of a dank bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied with crisp, clean, dry finish. Alcohol presence is muted. A but different than most examples of the style, and that works in its favor.
