Production & Heritage

903 Brewers operates out of Sherman, Texas, at 1718 South Elm Street, and has earned recognition on the national craft beer stage — the brewery took home a silver medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival. Juiceburst represents the brewery's candy-inspired approach to the hazy IPA style, intentionally built around a medley of fruit additions rather than relying solely on hop-derived tropical character. The result is a beer that bridges the gap between classic New England–style hazies and the emerging fruited-IPA category, leaning into sweetness and fruit intensity more than bitterness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: An immediate wave of tropical fruit — pineapple and orange dominate — followed by softer notes of strawberry and toasted coconut. A light malt sweetness sits underneath, keeping the fruit from veering into artificial territory.

Taste: The entry is bright and citrus-forward, with orange and lemon leading into a mid-palate burst of pineapple and coconut. Strawberry and lime round out the progression, balanced by a delicate malt backbone that provides just enough structure. Some drinkers note that the coconut character can be particularly assertive, occasionally overshadowing the other fruit layers.

Finish: Light hop bitterness arrives late, providing a clean, slightly resinous close. A residual kiss of juicy fruit candy lingers briefly before the palate resets.

How to Drink Juiceburst

Serve cold — around 40–45°F — in a tulip glass or shaker pint to let the aromatics open up. This beer is designed to drink fresh, so reach for it sooner rather than later. For a beer cocktail twist, try a Michelada riff using Juiceburst as the base for an extra-tropical spin; a Shandy blended with fresh-squeezed lemonade to amplify the citrus notes; or a Beermosa with orange juice, where the existing orange and pineapple character creates a natural brunch pairing.

Best For

• Backyard cookouts where hop-heavy beers feel too heavy
• Introducing non-IPA drinkers to the hazy IPA style through fruit-forward flavor
• Stocking a Texas craft beer tasting lineup alongside classic styles
• Casual poolside sessions in warm weather

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Juiceburst taste like? Juiceburst delivers a pronounced tropical fruit profile — orange, pineapple, and coconut at the forefront — layered over a soft, lightly sweet malt body with restrained hop bitterness on the finish. It tastes closer to a fruit-chew candy than a traditional bitter IPA.

How does Juiceburst compare to other fruited IPAs? Unlike many fruited hazies that rely primarily on hop-derived tropical notes, Juiceburst is explicitly candy-inspired and uses a broader fruit palette — six named fruits including coconut — which pushes it further toward the dessert-adjacent end of the category. The coconut note in particular distinguishes it from citrus-only competitors.

Is Juiceburst good for people who don't usually like IPAs? Yes — the heavy fruit character and low perceived bitterness make Juiceburst one of the more approachable options in the IPA category, particularly for drinkers who find traditional West Coast IPAs too bitter or resinous.

Where is Juiceburst made? Juiceburst is brewed by 903 Brewers at their facility located at 1718 South Elm Street in Sherman, Texas, a small city about 70 miles north of Dallas in the Texoma region.

What foods pair well with Juiceburst? Grilled shrimp tacos — the citrus in the beer complements lime-dressed seafood. Coconut-crusted chicken tenders echo the beer's coconut note. Spicy Thai green curry, where the fruit sweetness tempers the heat. Fresh fruit salad as a dessert course. Pulled pork sliders with a tangy slaw for a smoky-sweet contrast.

What sizes does Juiceburst come in? Juiceburst is available as a six-pack, which is the standard retail format from 903 Brewers for this expression.

Is Juiceburst worth the price? Juiceburst positions in the mid-range craft IPA tier, competitive with other small-batch Texas fruited IPAs. Its multi-fruit complexity and distinctive candy concept give it a clear identity that justifies the price point within the crowded hazy IPA landscape.

Why Juiceburst?

In a market saturated with hazy IPAs leaning on Citra and Mosaic hops for tropical character, Juiceburst takes a different path — engineering its fruit profile through an explicit candy-inspired concept rather than relying on hop variety alone. The six-fruit layering of orange, strawberry, pineapple, coconut, lemon, and lime gives it a signature identity that stands apart from the pack. Backed by a brewery that earned a silver medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival, 903 Brewers brings credibility to what could otherwise be dismissed as a novelty release. For drinkers exploring the fruit-forward edge of the IPA spectrum, Juiceburst delivers a distinct experience that earns its place in the cooler.
