One is a throwback. It's the first in a series of beers where we reference old hand-written batch notes from our nascent days of existence. Here we have Julius scaled directly from batch notes on May 29th, 2012, in what would be the first commercial batch of Julius. It's hard to say if this will be a pure throwback, since our choreographed dance of brewing, which is so important to the outcome of a beer, has evolved over time. At any rate, this should be a fun one to try!

Canned 6/2/26, drunk 7/18/26.
Smells much more tropical than Julius; like they mixed some Haze hop in there (NZ). Bit of melon and cherry, lots of overripe tropical fruit with a rich honey and light graham cracker-like maltiness. Hint of twang and/or resin-like character initially, but after a minute it's already relegated to the background.
Same maltiness as Julius with a biscuity, crusty, and sweet graham cracker character. But this has more acidic tropical fruit, melon, cherry - much more Haze/Daze-like than the usual mango-pine-grapefruit of Julius. Good and dry on the finish, with ample bitterness, though, and I love all of the Haze qualities. Some pine and grapefruit do make an appearance on the finish, lingering on the palate and giving a tingly bitterness that balances wonderfully. Nice to finally snag this One, even if it like batch 3 or 4.

473ml can. Less juicy, more malty and bitter than regular Julius nowadays. Still tasty with loads of pine and citrusy hops. --- Beer merged from original tick of One on 01 Jul 2022 at 23:53 - Score: 8. Original review text: Tuska Day One done.

Pours a hazy orange from a can. Citrus and dank pot notes in the nose, similar flavor. Pretty good beer.

Canned on July 8, 2021. Can says ABV is 6.8%. Pours a hazy, copper gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is tropical fruit and citrus, a touch of butterscotch. Flavor is tropical fruit and citrus, with some notes of grass/straw and a mid-level hoppy bitterness that continues through the finish. Soft mouthfeel.
