Weldwerks Juicy Bits India Pale Ale

Weldworks Juicy Bits India Pale Ale. Brewed with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. 

6.7 % ABV. Weldworks Brewing, Greeley, CO. 


Hey, heee's something new and fresh. Let's drink a hazy NE IPA. That never happens, right? True story: The other day a guy says to me, "Hey, I'm not really into hazy IPAs, but since that's all there is anymore, can you help me find some good ones?" Statements like that occur in this blog regularly. Was he reading my mind, or reading this blog? Or do dispirited minds think alike?

Anyway, I've never had one from this Colorado brewery yet, so that's something. Let's drink. 

All orangey and hazy with a fine white head on it. 

In the nose: Bright citrus notes with appropriate accompanying fuzziness. Touch of the dank. Nice.

In the mouth: Bold, brisk, hoppy, fruity, exceptionally expressive. Juicy, for sure. Moderate, but long-living bitterness. Full of hoppy goodness. And plenty of the yeasty fuzz everyone seems to like so damned much. It's very yum a dum dum. I admit it, sometimes I like these stupid things. Sometimes, they ain't so bad. 

Our flagship IPA features a huge citrus and tropical fruit hop character from the Mosaic, Citra & El Dorado hops and softer, smoother mouthfeel from the adjusted water chemistry, higher protein malts, and lower attenuation. The end result is a beer reminiscent of citrus juice with extra pulp, thus the name Juicy Bits.
