2x4
Melvin's legendary flagship and self-proclaimed 'best damn DIPA in the world.' An absurdly hopped imperial IPA layered over a light malt base, with notes of pine, citrus, and tropical fruit. Winner of GABF Gold (2012), back-to-back Alpha King Championships, and World Beer Cup Gold.

What is a Double IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Double IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, fruity character as 2x4 will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
