Living up to its name, this beer is fruit juice in beer form! Hopped almost exclusively in the dryhop with a ridiculous amount of juicy Citra, Mosaic and Vic Secret hops. This double IPA has huge notes of papaya, mango and fresh oranges with big dank undertones. A silky smooth, creamy mouthfeel and very low bitterness make this big beer approachable to the hop head and non-beer drinker alike.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Canned 7/10/25. Drank 9/3/25
Pour is a clear golden yellow with a dense cap of chalk white foam and good lacing.
Nose is orange, pineapple,
Taste is orange, pineapple, tropical fruit. Not much in the way of bitterness.
Bready malt character.

Not what I want in an IPA. From a hop profile - the orange thing isn’t my favorite, but I can look passed that. I have a harder time looking passed the lack of bitterness.

A good NEIPA!!! Really emphasizes the fruit, especially the first few sips. Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer features a good sized foamy white head with good retention and a lot of lacing. The color is more of a hazy gold vice the usual NEIPA straw yellow. First impression is a blast of orange and tropical fruit (mangos/passion fruit). Good NEIPAs are juicy but this one goes beyond the usual strong graapefruit. The fruit flavors are less prominent the longer you drink and the dankness is somewhat more noticeable but it remains a flavorful, mildly bitter brew throughout. Mouthfeel is soft with a little crispness/bitterness and very drinkable. Well done!!! I am not a big NEIPA fan but Three Roads did a fine job on this one.

L: Poured from a growler to a snifter glass. Had an orange-yellow color and an incredibly cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, long-lasting head. Average lacing.

S: A very enticing aroma of hops, citrus and tropical fruit, and pine.

T: Tasted of a mild amount of malt (muted by the other flavors), a whole lot of citrus fruit (orange, in particular), a tinge of pine, a good shot of hops (not overdone), and some tropical fruit (mango). A super sweet and effervescent flavor. There's a ton of fruit here, but it's counterbalanced very well by the hops content. It's focused and quite delicious.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a creamy finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A thoroughly enjoyable NE IPA. Drinkable.
