Hop Nation – Jedi Juice NEIPA, 2017, 7.1%ABV, 375ml can.

Drank on 13/12/2017, from I.B.S.

Appearance: 2.5 – Cloudy opaque orange juice, looks a little viscous, not much head or lacing.

Smell/Aroma: 2.5 – Fruity, hoppy, juicy, peach, a slight vegetal smell.

Taste: 2.5 – Initially fruity, juicy then a big hop bitterness thats still rather smooth, but a bit green or raw,  and a slight malt sweetness.

Mouthfeel/Palate: 2 – Rather dry, nothing special.

Overall: 2.5  – Its good, i guess. Its not enough of what I like about a GREAT NEIPA, but its not bad.

3 Ravens Lemon Juicy NEIPA, 2017, 6%ABV, 375ml can.

Drank on 30/11/2017 from I.B.S

Appearance: 3.5 – Cloudy, opaque, light orange juice colour and opacity. Thin but solid head

Smell: 3 – Citrus, sweet orange juice, very slight yeasty notes.

Taste: 2 – Orange or lemon pith, hop bitterness mixed with yeast spice. A strong Saison-like yeast character. Finish is a lingering hoppy bitterness.

Mouthfeel: 2 – Light carbonation, rather smooth despite the bitterness and yeast spice.

Overall: 2.6 – Maybe this has sat a bit on the shelf, or maybe I shouldn’t have drank a Berliner Weisse first, this particuluar can isnt as good as the normal Juicy IPA. I really want to try this again but super fresh, the smell is amazing.
