Juicy IPA
Seven Jars

Brewed in the traditional American iPA style but borrowing from newer hop varieties and trends, Seven Jars steps away from the still and embraces the brew kettle for a juicy IPA.

And that aptly named beer joins the crowded juicy beer market with a pale golden amber appearance with a tall frothy cap. As a spicy, fruity and floral scent greets the nose, the first sip leans in with hints of caramel, shortbread, toasted cereal and a sweeter malt character. As the hops roll onto the middle palate, flavors of orange, apricot, mango, pineapple and papaya settle into a citrusy, tropical fruit cocktail. Trending bitter to finish, the hops add a grassy bite, peppery pine and somewhat stemmy bite for both balance and tannin.

Medium bodied, juicy for sure but a little too bitey for smoother and juicier ale but not dry enough for more west coast varieties, the balance and flavor combinations catches this juicy ale in no-man's land.
