Quick Facts: Style: Double Dry-Hopped Hazy IPA  |  Origin: Bourbonnais, Illinois  |  Format: 6-Pack  |  Brewery: Brickstone Brewery

Production & Heritage

Brickstone Brewery operates out of Bourbonnais, Illinois, roughly 60 miles south of Chicago. The brewery earned national recognition early in its history, taking home a gold medal at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival and a bronze at the 2012 World Beer Cup for its American Pale Ale, followed by another GABF gold in 2013 for its Belgo APA. Double Haz'D Juice applies a double dry-hopping technique — meaning the beer receives two separate additions of hops after primary fermentation — using a trio of Citra, Mosaic, and Huell Melon hops, a combination designed to maximize aromatic intensity and juice-like flavor without adding excessive bitterness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright citrus and grapefruit dominate the nose, followed by layers of tropical fruit and a soft, almost melon-like sweetness from the Huell Melon hops. The double dry-hopping amplifies these aromatics considerably compared to a single-hopped version.

Taste: The entry is immediately juicy, with ripe grapefruit and tangerine flooding the palate. Mid-palate, tropical stone fruit and a subtle melon character emerge, supported by a pillowy, soft mouthfeel characteristic of the New England IPA style. Bitterness stays deliberately restrained, letting the hop flavor and fruit-forward character take center stage.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering citrus pith and a faint resinous quality that reminds you this is still an IPA at heart. The finish stays clean and drinkable, encouraging the next sip without any harsh astringency.

How to Drink Double Haz'D Juice

Pour into a tulip glass or stemless wine glass at around 40–45°F to let the hop aromatics open up fully; drinking straight from the can mutes much of what the double dry-hopping delivers. This beer is best enjoyed fresh — hazy IPAs lose vibrancy over time, so drink it sooner rather than later. While not a typical cocktail ingredient, hazy IPAs like Double Haz'D Juice work surprisingly well in a Michelada where the citrus character complements lime and hot sauce, a Beer Margarita (beer-a-rita) where the tropical hop profile adds complexity, or a Shandy blended with fresh-squeezed lemonade for a lighter warm-weather drink.

Best For

• Backyard cookouts and summer grilling sessions where bold hop flavor stands up to charred and smoky food
• Introducing a craft-curious friend to the hazy IPA style through a well-executed, approachable example
• Bringing a 6-pack to a beer share or tasting with fellow IPA enthusiasts
• Pairing with spicy tacos, buffalo wings, or rich burgers where citrus-forward bitterness cuts through fat

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Double Haz'D Juice taste like? Double Haz'D Juice delivers loads of citrus, grapefruit, and tropical fruit flavor wrapped in a soft, smooth body with very low bitterness and pronounced juiciness. The double dry-hopping intensifies the hop aroma and flavor well beyond a standard hazy IPA.

How does Double Haz'D Juice compare to the regular Haz'D Juice? The regular Haz'D Juice sits at 6.5% ABV and uses the same hop bill, but the Double version receives a second dry-hop addition, resulting in a more intense aromatic profile and fuller body. Expect amplified tropical and citrus notes with a richer mouthfeel in the Double.

Is Double Haz'D Juice good for someone new to hazy IPAs? Yes — its low bitterness and juice-forward character make it an accessible entry point into the hazy IPA style, though the double dry-hopping gives it enough complexity to satisfy experienced hop fans as well.

Where is Double Haz'D Juice made? Double Haz'D Juice is brewed at Brickstone Brewery in Bourbonnais, Illinois, a town located approximately 60 miles south of Chicago in Kankakee County.

What foods pair well with Double Haz'D Juice? Fish tacos with mango salsa complement the tropical hop character. Spicy buffalo wings benefit from the beer's citrus brightness cutting through the heat. A sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese echoes the bold flavors.

Why Double Haz'D Juice?

The distinguishing factor here is the specific hop combination and double dry-hopping method — Citra and Mosaic are proven workhorses in the hazy IPA world, but the addition of Huell Melon brings a distinctive melon and berry undertone that separates this from the hundreds of Citra-Mosaic hazies on the market. Brickstone Brewery has a verified track record of medal-winning ales at the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup, lending credibility to their hop-forward lineup. With over a thousand Untappd ratings and a 4.1 average, Double Haz'D Juice has built a consistent following among Illinois craft beer drinkers. For anyone seeking a hazy DIPA that prioritizes juiciness and aromatic intensity over bitterness, this is a well-executed regional option from a brewery that has proven it can compete nationally.
