When it came to designing a core range IPA, Land & Sea held to their philosophy of approachable beers and made Juice Box - an East Coast IPA with friendly fruit flavours, no astringency and very low bitterness.
It’s a tropical fruit platter served up with a glass of orange mango juice, with fan favourites Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops oozing out wherever they can. On the grain bill side, malted oats and triticale (a wheat-rye hybrid) give Juice Box the proteins that bring the haze and soft body out to play.
While there’s a pleasing texture to it, Juice Box is lighter on the palate than many hazies, but don’t let it trick you into thinking it’s low in alcohol. It’s 6.5 percent ABV, so it’ll still knock you on your poppa if you have a few in a row.
