I've heard great things about this beer, almost too great... I'm really hoping it will live up to the hype.
I'm pouring this 16 oz can with no canning date into my glass and I'm amazed by the color of this beer. Its a deep orange color. I would definitely go as far as saying this is the best looking IPA I've ever seen.
Julius also smells very citrusy. The can states Julius is a beer filled with flavors and aromas of peach, mango, passionfruit, and a melange of citrus. I won't lie and say I can pick out each of those, but this beer still smells great.
After taking my first sip, I'm relieved that the taste follows through and hits you right up front with citrus as well, followed by some really nice floral hop flavors.
As I'm about halfway through my glass and the beer has warmed up a little all of the flavors seem to have amplified, along with the bitterness from the hops.
This beer is very drinkable! I could easily go through a few of these, if only I had more.
Now while this certainly was the most enjoyable IPA I've had recently, I can't say it's life changing. It looks beautiful in a glass, but it did fall short of expectations in the taste department. It's a great beer but I think I was over anticipating it. In the end beer is beer and there aren't too many, if any that are truly life changing. I'm ecstatic I had the change to try this one, but there are certainly other IPA's out there that can hold their weight to Julius, and I can't wait to try them.
