MugiOhhh! So when you say juicy aroma, you mean it feels fruity?
Hop BroExactly. With tropical and citrus hops, it’s easy to get impressions like mango or orange. And at 6% alcohol, it still has plenty of heft.
MugiIt smells that much at 6%!? That’s basically an delicious danger!
Hop BroExactly. And with IBU 50, it has a moderate bitterness for a hazy, so it isn’t too sweet and still has some structure.
