hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and crisp character as Release the Chimps. Release the Chimps is an IPA built for regular drinking rather than occasion. Its pale malt foundation delivers a light body that stays crisp on the palate, while the hop character carries real punch—both bitter and flavourful in the same breath. The bitterness cuts clean without heaviness, and the hop register comes through distinct enough to justify the style without demanding ceremony. At 4.4%, it sits comfortably in the everyday range, the kind of beer you reach for on an ordinary evening when you want flavour without fatigue. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
