WeldWerks Brewing 'Mango Juicy Bits' Hazy IPA Beer, Colorado

Ripe mango, pineapple, and citrus rise from a plush haze with an emphatically tropical character. WeldWerks Brewing 'Mango Juicy Bits' Hazy IPA Beer takes the brewery’s signature Juicy Bits framework of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops and layers in mango purée, reinforcing the fruit-forward qualities already associated with the hop blend. At 6.7% ABV, it reflects WeldWerks’ ongoing approach of revisiting a flagship IPA through focused variations while retaining the soft texture and expressive hop character at the heart of Juicy Bits.

Sensory Description:

Mango leads the aromatic profile with ripe tropical intensity, supported by pineapple, citrus, and stone-fruit impressions from the Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hop combination. The palate is juicy and rounded, with mango purée amplifying the beer’s fruit character while a restrained hop bitterness defines the haze. Citrus and tropical fruit carry through the mid-palate, with a soft texture keeping the beer generous and approachable before a fresh, fruit-driven finish.

Brewer's Background:

WeldWerks Brewing Co. opened in Greeley, Colorado, in 2015 and grew out of co-founder Neil Fisher’s competitive homebrewing background. The brewery became closely associated with modern hazy IPA after introducing Juicy Bits in 2016, using Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops to create an intensely citrus- and tropical-fruited expression with restrained bitterness and a soft mouthfeel. WeldWerks now produces its beers on both 15-barrel and 30-barrel brewhouses while maintaining a broad experimental program that has generated hundreds of distinct releases. Mango Juicy Bits extends the brewery’s flagship IPA concept by adding mango purée to an already fruit-driven hop profile.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 7 to 10°C in an IPA glass or stemmed tulip to concentrate its mango and tropical-hop aromatics while allowing its soft texture to open. Pair with spicy tacos, grilled chicken, pork, fried foods, curry, sharp cheddar, or dishes with chile and citrus. Its ripe mango character also makes it a useful contrast to salty and moderately spicy foods. Enjoy fresh for the clearest expression of its hop and fruit profile.
