Style of Beer: Juicy / Hazy IPA

I am from: Burlington, Vermont, USA (Crafted by Zero Gravity Craft Brewery)

The Story: Born on Pine Street in Burlington, Vermont, Zero Gravity has mastered the art of balancing highly drinkable classics with modern, expressive hop profiles. Duck Duck Juice was crafted as the ultimate playful tribute to the modern "Juicy IPA" craze. To build its incredibly soft, pillowy foundation, the brewers started with a crisp base of Rahr Pilsner malt and a heavy hand of rolled oats. The true magic, however, happens in the dry hop, where they deploy a highly specialized, cutting-edge blend: Mosaic, Talus, Cryo Pop Mango, and HBC 586. This dynamic combination was explicitly designed to extract the most vibrant, fruit-forward aromatics possible while keeping the traditional hop bitterness beautifully restrained.

Why You'll Love Me: It is an impossibly smooth, intensely juicy IPA that drinks like absolute liquid velvet. It pours a deep, opaque, hazy blonde in the glass with a frothy white head. The nose is an alluring explosion of tropical and berry aromatics—bursting with fresh mango, sweet red berry, and a bright, zesty pop of lemon-lime brightness. On the palate, the heavy dose of rolled oats provides an exceptionally soft, creamy texture that beautifully carries the fruit-forward hop profile. Instead of finishing with a harsh, resinous bite, it delivers just enough delicate, balanced bitterness to keep the sweetness in check, allowing the vibrant fruit flavors to shine through a smooth and wonderfully refreshing finish.
