We’ve added fresh orange zest & dialed up the ABV of this fruited NEIPA for the perfect complement to an even bigger explosion of tropical, citrusy, American hop flavor. Resiny & balanced, upfront & easy drinking

Can with smudged/illegible date, drunk 1/13/26, as pictured.
Definitely get the orange zest but there's a surprising lack of hops behind it. A lot of biscuity grain, orange zest and cracker with no lush/juicy hop character I expect from, you know, a beer called Juice Bomb.
A bit sharp/alcoholic and oxidized with lots of malt, even tending lightly caramelly. Can forgive a lot, but not the sharp/raw alcohol flavor. No juice, no softness. Just harsh booze and bitterness from the orange rind. An absolute disaster.

Almost clear golden color with lots of floating orange zest and a white head. Nose is malty, decent tropical fruits. Taste is hoppy and fruity, orange and orange zest. Not as juicy as expected . --- Beer merged from original tick of Double Fresh Pressed Juice Bomb on 12 Feb 2024 at 03:42 - Score: 7.
