Summer pick 2026. Forget the salt and lime with this nice crisp refreshing drink. Nice 👍

Trübes Gold mit porigem knisterndem Schaum. In der Nase lecker tropisch mit Kokos. Lecker tropisch dann auch beim Trinken, nicht zu süß sondern mit feiner Säure, etwas harzig und durchaus herb. Der Körper ist voluminös, hat aber auch 7%, die tropische Fruchtmischung durchaus vollreif. Für ein hazy IPA relativ trocken, hier aber gut gemacht. Der Abgang legt dann nochmals zu und wird dann auch etwas ätherisch hopfig.

Christmas Advent beer #19. I’ve had this before. Has a malty taste that has toasted caramel, very light brown sugar & chocolate with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Best by 2/2/26.

This is going to be a compare review. I have 2 IPA’s that are grapefruit based. I wanted to see which one was better. I liked them both. Saved one of each to do a compare. Here we go. Starting with Juice Drop Hazy Grapefruit IPA: This is slightly juicy and a bit zesty. It’s sweet and bitter. Has some other fruit that is a hint+ of tangerine and with just a hint of mango. Has a tangy finish to it. Citrus Slayer: This has a lot of grapefruit that is a little zesty. Has a little pink grapefruit adding some sweetness but is still mainly hoppy and bitter. I got a little pine at first but that faded. Has some hints of sweet bread and caramel malt but they are hidden in the background. Compare results: They are quite different as I remembered them being grapefruit based hence the compare. The Juice Drop seemed juicier with the other fruit contributing a tasty enhancement. The Citrus Slayer is more geared towards grapefruit and on the hoppy and bitter side. It also has some sweetness from the malt and sweet grapefruit toning the bitterness down a little. I really enjoyed them both given the different attributes they have. It is really close but I lean towards Citrus Slayer. Mainly because it was more hoppy and bitter. This was a fun and tasty compare.

This is juicy and a little syrupy that leans towards pineapple, tangerine with hints+ of grapefruit and passionfruit. Has a very light hoppy bitterness at best. (2 in a row like that - this wasn’t even a hazy). Has a little bit of an artificial taste to it especially in the aftertaste. It does hide the abv well. Now this is my fault. This has been in my fridge for about 3 months. I let it get past the best by date. I think because it was a 12 oz can instead of a big boy. I have a tendency to grab first the 16 oz first. Best by 11/2/25 Not the best of IPA nights.
