    Wait, so they are making another batch? Is this second batch just for distribution to Southern OH and parts of PA or is it going to be all on sale again at the brewpub like last time? Is this supposed to be a regular bottled beer now is it a temporary brew?

    Does anyone know what hops were used in brewing Juju?

    Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, Simcoe, Citra

    rumor is heavier on the Chinook and Casacde

    Nice! That sounds like a wonderful combo of hops! Thanks for the hoppy info, Stigs!

    They've already had at least two different batches. My first bottles were 2/13 and my current bottles are 2/20.

    Where are you seeing dates on the bottle?

    should be on the neck written in yellow. Sometimes it's blurry or just a blob of ink. They all should be dated tho...unless you have the limited edition no bottle date batch.

    All 187 bottles of JuJu in the trunk of my car have the bottle date. But seriously, the 2/13 is aging fast so drink that quick before it turns into Old Milwaukee.

    On the neck in yellow ink. It's the same type of ink Stone uses which is easy to wipe off. So if you don't see any dates that's possible.

    Huh...just double checked and there's definitely no date on the bottle neck. Any idea when the limited edition batch was bottled? Just curious as to how fresh the batch I got is. Thanks.

    Jungle Jims got more in today. They should have left.

    It's no older than 2/13. I'd drink it all before midnight....but yeah, it's fresh. Their dating machine likes to disguise the truth from time to time.

    The Citra isn't without a voice. Maybe my nose is off due to my cold but I'd say Citra is the dominant aroma. Chinook is definitely present as there is a decent pineyness to it. My fiancee kissed me good-night and said I tasted like grapefruits so take that for what it's worth as well so the cascade hops have a presence as well. It's HOPPY. I've had beers with much higher IBU than this but this is so potent.

    That's probably a bit of an exaggeration but I hope you're right. Has Fat Heads officially made a statement about this being year round? I wonder if the price will drop a bit over time if so.
