What's on the Can/Website: "The DAB Lab series focuses on vibrant hop-forward ales that prominently feature hop extractions and varietals. Juice Joint pairs dank and citrusy kettle additions with a tropical and herbal dry-hop - a heady combination  that's packed with resin-dipped pineapple skunk and freshly squeezed twisted citrus, supported by a smooth body and balanced bitterness."

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered, some sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head with good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): When colder, a more dank-pineapple presence. After warming up a tad, more tropical is detected with the dank-pineapple. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Slight resinous/dank at the start, with pilsner-like malt. Transitions to good tropical and stone fruit. Aftertaste combines resin with mango-stone fruit. 4/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Juicy with slight dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent IPA. I liked the tropical-resin mix, but there were pilsner-like malts in there that got too much in the way at times for me. It says 12 IBU online, but I swear it has more IBU than that. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.113/5
