Mega Juicy (Turlock, CA) – Dust Bowl Brewing has a new addition to its fan-favorite Big Beer Series, that sounds really BIG. Crafted for hop lovers seeking big flavor, Mega Juicy IPA is a 12% ABV India Pale Ale with all the juicy, fruit-forward character of a hazy IPA, but without the haze. Bursting with BIG tropical fruit notes, this limited-edition Imperial IPA delivers an intense aroma and flavor profile designed for beer fans those craving a bigger, bolder beer experience.

“We wanted the juicy character of a hazy without the haze, and since it is the Big Beer Series, bigger is better,” says Don Oliver, Brewmaster. “Tropical fruits come through, and the 12% keeps it Mega.”
