My TDH Juice Skyhopper is ready. I bottled it a week ago, so I figured it wouldn't be good to go yet, but it is perfectly carbonated.

Epic hop aroma...check
Creamy mouthfeel...check
Soft pillowy head...check
Opaque perma haze...check
Mild bitterness with juicy flavor...check


 
 
Sound delicious.
 
Any orange or juicinext?

I get oranges when I drank Starfish and Master of Oranges ...
 
Like, juicing orange if you've had it ... very different from eating orange ... way, way less flesh/pulp, all juice, which is more orange flavored than eating orange ...
 
Ah, I see what you mean. The aroma has some citrus asects to it, but not nearly as straight up orange as Master of Oranges. The flavor is closer to a melon/mango/blueberry type of fruit than oranges/grapefruit/lemons. I think the galaxy/mosaic/citra combo works pretty damn well in this beer.

The next IPA I brew will be galaxy/motueka/waimea/wakatu. That one should be interesting. I'm going to throw in about 20% of malted oats into the grist for that one to see how it goes. 30% two row, 30% marris otter, 20% malted oats, and 20% flaked oats. I'll whirpool all galaxy, and dry hop with the NZ hops.
