Juicy! Double IPA

From Garrison Brewing Co. in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia comes Juicy! Double IPA. This mostly clear golden grog is sold in 473mL cans that are kinda ugly, but which have some entertaining copy, including “right some juicy!” which I love.

Through a cloudy eggshell head, a highly citrusy aroma wafts out strong, with tangerine leading the charge. As one might expect, the flavour is decidedly juicy. It’s rich in fruit elements, primarily tangerine and orange, but with a pineapple subtext along for the ride. Compared with other DIPAs, Juicy! is not wildly bitter, though it definitely does have some IBUs to spare.

Garrison seems to deliver consistently good quality beers, and Juicy! is no exception. It’s not my favourite Double, but the strength is there, the beer delivers on its stated objective, and I’d buy it again.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
