We developed the Alpha Juicy Lager by combining the techniques used in making lagers with the hops traditionally found in N.E. IPAs.

The result is a modern lager with juicy, tropical fruit flavours and a clean, crisp finish.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Mildly sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, orange and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, orange and piney hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with a soft, creamy, smooth texture and average carbonation. Tastes more like a hazy PA, but it's juicy, clean, refreshing and crushable. Pretty interesting. A nice hoppy lager.

Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with white head. Slightly tart, a bit odd, hint of grain.

Okay copper gold body and modest foam. Aroma is mellow piney hops, rather sweet. Taste is okay sweet piney hops, soft grain notes. Ends smooth and slightly dry. It's just okay.

Light dank and weedy notes with some citrus. Bright clearish gold with a decent white head. Light dank, some mandarin and a clean finish.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Hazy to cloudy golden colour, nice lace. Mild aroma, bready malts, touch of hop resin. Good body, not much interest in the malt, decent hop character, more herbaceous than juicy.
Overall, disappointing juicy, but decent Lager.
