Juice Lord
Magnanimous Brewing

 

 

 

 

On tap at Peculiar Pub in Lakewood Ranch. Pours a light, hazy yellow. You can smell the grapefruit rind, and it continues in the taste. Not a lot of mellow, tropical fruit, but lots of sweet grapefruit. Crisp and tasty.

 

1 PINT can
Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass

This beer pours orange and turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.

Tropical fruit with some melon in the aroma.

The taste is more citrus than tropical fruit. I get some orange and hints of grapefruit with some underlying tropical fruit.

Medium bodied with a slightly chalky mouthfeel

Pretty solid beer. A little old, but still good.

The brewery’s flagship IPA. Hard to judge properly when drinking their double and triple IPAs.

 

 

 

Opaque orange hazy body with a full white head and tons of thick lacing. Smell is powerfully led by juicy citrus, with peach and tropical notes supporting with lighter hops. Taste is clearly citrus, mango and pineapple starring, hop bitters integrate well in second half of sip. Smooth and pillowy in a hazy medium body

 

Color was slightly different than most IPAs. Nose was citrus and piney..as it should be. Taste was very balanced til the bitterness hits, then the magic happens.

Hell bent on dominating the Central Florida IPA scene, Magnanimous brewers set their sights on Citra, Mosiac and Vic Secret hops to sway drinkers with what's basically a religious experience for the tastebuds.

Juice Lord pours with a richer amber color than usual for hazy ale, but its firm translucence allows for a slim glow while a slightly tarnish head begins to form. A truly juicy scent of stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit and lightly botanical herbs decorate the nose as the first sip looms with light caramel, honey, graham cracker and shortcake.

With the sweetness remaining through the middle palate, the taste patiently shifts toward a more citrusy tone of tangerine, red grapefruit and lime, along with a quick follow from apricot and peach. Bold flavors of mango, papaya and fresh dates keep the fruit medley going into an eventual smooth bitterness of black tea, blackcurrant, verbena and light cedar.

Plush on the palate, the beer remains truly juicy throughout with more of a focus on fruitiness and fragrance than on bitterness or herb. Still the finish is decorated with light hemp, herb and citronella botanicals in a medium-length afterglow.

 

 

Hazy yellow beer with lots of oats, citra hops, and a pleasantly mild bitterness.
