Dainton Beer Kong Juice

Style
Double Hazy IPA
ABV
8.0%

They love making big, hazy beers at Dainton, have won many a trophy for them, and their tropical-themed hazy IPA Jungle Juice is a deservedly popular core range release. So, much like the release of Godzilla vs Kong later this year, Kong Juice has been a long time coming – and there's an air of inevitability about its rise too.

Dainton have dubbed the double hazy IPA the "8% Wonder of the World" and it’s a beer that takes the spirit of Jungle Juice and loads it up not just with more alcohol, but more lupulin power too. It pours opaque and pale yellow with a slight tinge of orange and, while there’s a touch of pine on the nose, it’s tropical fruit flavours that fuel Kong. Those are led by mango, nectarine juice, freshly squeezed OJ and a touch of lime zest that adds to a slight prickle towards the beer's end.

Kong might be built big and be an easy sight to spot, but if it's bitterness you're looking for, you're on the wrong island. Moreover, it seems like there's no stopping the king, with Kong Juice returning at the start of 2022 with a new can design to wreak more juicy havoc.
