Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Juicy or Hazy Strong Pale Ale describes a stronger hazy ale with juicy, fruity hop flavor and soft, well-integrated bitterness, 5.6 to 6.4 percent ABV and 15 to 40 IBU. The tap list's 7.5% ABV is above that range; the current listing may not match the entry.

Gaps

  • Not Found: IBU. Checked urbanrest.com, urbanrest.com, web searches recorded in the research notes, Catalog.beer search by beer and brewery name.
  • Not Found: Color (SRM), Original gravity, Final gravity, Hop use, Hop lot or farm, Malts and grains, Yeast, Adjuncts, Water. Checked urbanrest.com, urbanrest.com, web searches recorded in the research notes.

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Matching Untappd listing reports N/A IBU, so bitterness remains null.
  • All specs and the description come from the brewery's on-tap page; there is no individual beer page.
  • The brewery labels it a DDH DIPA at 7.5%, while it medaled in Juicy or Hazy Strong Pale Ale.
  • Treating Nelson as Nelson Sauvin is an inference; the page does not say what form either takes beyond the kief.
  • No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the tap list names Simcoe, Citra, Waimea, Nelson and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief, recorded as published with the kief as a hop form; it calls the beer a DDH DIPA.
