Double Citrus IPA. First released in September 2016.
The oranges for Deucebox, our 8.3% citrus double IPA, are harvested by blasting California Dreaming through very large speakers at such a high intensity, the fruit just falls from the trees and juices itself. This is then added to our Citrus IPA recipe with twice the hops, twice the malt and twice the juice to serve up a punchy, tropical, glass of joy, every time.
We'd like to pretend that this beer was inspired by long sunny afternoons strolling through the orange orchards of Valencia, which would be nice, but the truth is we liked Juicebox so much we wanted to fill a swimming pool with it and float lazily whilst bathing in its delicious joy. Maximum juice. This is like that... but you drink it... from a can.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Clear orange - gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth and soft, pretty modest carbonation for a keg beer. Soft malts, light creamy sweetness. Mellow hop skunk into smooth pine. Resinous citrus underneath. Bitterish citric peel. Soft finish. Spicy pine linger. It’s a nice beer but curiously, like Bloody Notorius (also on tap tonight) it seems pretty light on carbonation. Also lacks a little citric hop brightness compared to the best.

Keg at Fourpure. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, juicy, big tropical fruit vibe, orange, mango, papaya, marmalade and candied peel. The taste is dry, bitter, juicy, loads of orange citrus, orange, pink grapefruit, papaya, slightly grassy/dank, pine and some alcohol boost with a lingering dry, citrusy finish. Medium body and moderate + carbonation. Rather delicious and very juicy.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green. Pours clear, deep gold with a frothy, pure white head. Plump and juicy citrus fruits in the aroma, orange and tangerine, some pine. Medium sweet flavour with a bit of alcohol, bitter and pily pine, ripe orange, melon, papaya, mango. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Resinous and warming on the finish, with lots more ripe, juicy and decadent citrus and tropical fruit character, and balancing grassy and piney bitterness. Great DIPA.
