In my quest to try as many New England and Milkshake IPAs before brewing my own,
I heard about [Maplewood Brewery](http://www.maplewoodbrew.com/) and their amazing
IPAs.

Maplewood Brewing

**ABV:** 6.30%
**IBU:** “Low”**Style:** New England IPA**Brewery Description:** 
Bursting with notes of tropical fruit, Son of Juice features loads of Mosaic, Simcoe,
and Nugget hops. Pilsner malt and oats lend to a soft body and touch of haze, making
for a juicy, low-bitter IPA.

I purchased a 4 pack of cans and poured it into a standard pint glass.

A pour of Son of Juice

**Appearance:** Pours a pale orange with a good bit of haze. It left a fingers worth
of head, good retention with good lacing.

**Smell:** The citrus is very up front, with large orange and lemon smells. You 
can tell there is a good amount of aroma hops added to this. There is also a little
pineapple in the aroma.

**Taste:** This is a total juice bomb. The orange is front and center. You also 
get hints of grapefruit and biscuit malts. There is little bitterness for an IPA.

**Mouth:** The mouthfeel is light to medium without that IPA kick at the end. It’s
almost a dry finish, but with the juice feel to it. The carbonation is perfect balanced.

**Overall:** This is a new regular rotation beer when I see it. They are right there
with Narrow Gauge on NE/Hazy IPAs. I was able to pick up Juice Pants as well and
it was just as good. **Rating: 5.00 out of 5.**

The [Beer Advocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34285/123074/) score
is 4.10 and it’s rated #5,042. Untappd has it as 4.04 with over 23,000 ratings.
