218. Souther Tier Brewing Co. (Lakewood, NY) - Nu Juice IPA

“Sometimes evolution is observed in real time. Case in point: Nu Juice IPA. Over the course of more than a year of development, our R&D team uncovered the ultimate balance of hops and malts. This process involves adding Mosaic, Eukanot, and Simcoe hops over a multi-day period, creating a refresingly juicy and approachable IPA. As an added bonus, bitterness has been reduced to a low 30 for what could be the smoothest IPA ever brewed.”

Very subtle fruit flavor up front, and then a dry, earthy finish. Not particularly remarkable.
