Friday Jr is Bodriggy's juice-loaded hazy IPA from their Abbotsford brewery, packed in a 500ml tinnie that signals exactly how the weekend should start. It pours a thick, opaque golden orange and leads with a generous nose of mango, pineapple and stone fruit lifted by tropical-leaning hops and a touch of resinous pine.
On the palate the beer is soft and pillowy, with juicy fruit flavours layered over a creamy oat-led body. Bitterness sits well in the background, letting the haze and fruit character carry the show through to a smooth, slightly dank finish.
It's a punchy, full-flavoured hazy in classic Bodriggy style, designed for those who want plenty of juice and plenty of hops.
