Great Lakes Brewing Company | Juicy Vibacious Doube IPA Beer Review

Great Lakes Brewing Company has a long-standing reputation in the craft beer world, so when I finally sat down to review Juicy Vibacious Double IPA, I wanted to give it the attention it deserved. This video isn’t just about whether I liked the beer—it’s about understanding what it brings to the table and how it delivers on its bold name. I kick things off by breaking down the appearance, because first impressions matter. I talk through the haze, the color, the head formation, and what that visual tells me about what’s coming next. From there, I lean into the aroma, taking my time to explore how the hops present themselves, how intense they are, and whether the beer leans more tropical, citrus-forward, or somewhere in between. Once I take that first sip, the focus shifts to flavor and balance. I walk through how Juicy Vibacious hits the palate, how the sweetness and bitterness interact, and whether the Double IPA strength enhances or overwhelms the experience. I also spend time discussing the mouthfeel, because a great juicy IPA should feel as good as it tastes—and not every Double IPA gets that right. To wrap things up, I give my overall assessment—where this beer lands for me, and how it stacks up as a hazy Double IPA. Whether you’re a longtime Great Lakes fan or just curious if this one deserves a spot in your fridge, this review gives you the full picture. If you appreciate deep-dive beer reviews that go beyond hype and focus on the full drinking experience, you’re in the right place. Thanks for watching, and as always—get your beer on.
