Urban South Holy Roller Hazy Juicy IPA Review

You can smell the tropical aromas as soon as you crack the can: canned peaches, passionfruit, and mango float out as you pour into the glass, a result of Mosaic and Citra hops. Yet even with all that fruity aroma, the flavor is light, crisp and a little bitter, with a short finish. It's an interesting contradiction – if you're looking for a "hazy and juicy" IPA that tastes as sweet as it smells, this isn't it – but if you're looking for one that strikes a balance between juicebomb and session IPA, Holy Roller is it.
