From a brewery that’s always innovating and surprising, Hold on Juicy is the first release in New Realm’s new “jam-centric” Just Like Music Double IPA series. And for that reason, it’s this week’ Beer Pick.
Beer Pick
Hold on Juicy Double IPA
New Realm Brewing, Atlanta
Available on draft and in 6-pack 12-ounce cans
Profile
I’m not a big fan of hazy IPAs, but there are exceptions, and Hold on Juicy Double IPA is one of them. The first of New Realm’s series of music-themed double IPAs, it employs a combo of Azacca, El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops that give it a jolt of citrus aromas and flavors. But Cosmic Punch thiolized yeast generates another layer of grapefruit, passion fruit and guava notes. At 9.0% alcohol, it’s surprisingly easy to gulp, so take care, beware.
Pair with
Try Hold on Juicy Double IPA with roast chicken, or fried seafood, such as shrimp, oysters and clams.
