Juicy Lucy – the newest star in the action world, a potential candidate for Charlie’s Angels or a brand new superheroine in the Marvel universe?
No, the juicy owl in the yellow catsuit is not competition for Superman and co., but a beer creation from the pen of Uiltje from Haarlem. In addition to its enthusiasm for hops, the Dutch brewery has a soft spot for comics and loves to combine these two passions in its beers. Juicy Lucy is a fruity New England IPA with a powerful arsenal. The action heroine’s three secret weapons are Amarillo, Chinook and Mosaic - three particularly aromatic hop varieties that deliver explosive notes of tropical fruit.
Juicy Lucy comes in bright sunny yellow and has an airy, white head instead of a cape. The 5.5% strong brew has a silky-soft consistency thanks to various malts and an extra portion of oat flakes. The bouquet of pineapple, orange, passion fruit, citrus fruit and freshly mown grass runs like a common thread through the scent and taste. The sweetness and fruity acidity are harmoniously balanced by a gentle bitterness, while sparkling carbonation adds a touch of freshness. A dry, light-footed finish concludes the beer enjoyment and lingers on the tongue for a long time with notes of ripe tropical fruits.
A successful NEIPA from Uiltje!
