Juicebox New England Pale Ale

Happy Hallowe'en from the Stout Man!

With a classic 8-bit label, Juicebox New England Pale Ale comes in great looking 500mL bottles. It’s a 5.5% ale from Toronto’s Bandit Brewery. The edition that I reviewed was made with Citra and Idaho 7 hops. The beer is cloudy and has a dull brown-gold hue.

Through a sudsy, off-white head, Juicebox has a fruitful aroma. The beer has juicy notes that, in my opinion, carried notes of raspberry and citrus. Like a proper New England-style, Juicebox is hopped fairly lightly, but there is definitely enough to lend a bit of balance.

Juicebox is well-made beer. Other than it’s pleasing raspberry vibe, the beer isn’t all that memorable, but it sure is quality. Juicy, adequately hoppy, and flavourful, it clicks without overawing.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
