🌍 United States · Double West Coast IPA · One of 8 Double West Coast IPAs in hopIQ

1UP is Highland Park Brewery's West Coast double IPA, hopped with an intense dose of Citra and Mosaic, partly as concentrated cryo hops. Opening a can releases aromas of fresh pineapple, flamed orange peel, dank white pine and grape. The palate follows with juicy fruit, melon and pine resin, a moderate bitterness keeps the 8.3 percent in check, and the finish stays dry rather than sweet.
