Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.

Double West Coast IPA·Australia·8.5% ABV·One of 26 Double West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Pacificus Maximus's tropical and citrusy character. Pacificus Maximus is a double West Coast IPA at 8.5% ABV, brewed with Banks Brewing from Melbourne for IPA Day 2026 around New Zealand hops. A lean, crisp malt base carries large additions of Rakau, Krush and Nectaron. It pours bright pale gold with brilliant clarity and a white head. Ripe tropical fruit, juicy peach, citrus and a sticky dank note lead the aroma, giving way to stone fruit, resin and bright citrus peel on the palate. A firm, cleansing bitterness cuts through the fruit and lingers for a medium length.
