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.

How to get the most out of 2x4

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 2x4
◎ Appearance
Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacework as it subsides. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual presence typical of the style.
◌ Aroma
Intensely hoppy with bold citrus notes—grapefruit pith and lemon zest—layered beneath pine resin and herbal character. Tropical fruit aromas emerge on closer inspection, suggesting mango and passion fruit. The light malt base remains restrained, allowing the aromatic hops to dominate without any yeasty or fruity esters competing.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with bright, assertive citrus bitterness that builds steadily across the mid-palate. Piney and herbal hop flavors interweave with subtle tropical notes, while the light malt backbone provides minimal sweetness and body. The 80 IBU bitterness is clean and assertive rather than harsh, finishing with a pleasant dryness and lingering hoppy bite.
◑ Finish
Dry and crisp, with bitterness and pine resin lingering pleasantly on the palate. The 9.9% alcohol is well-integrated and poses no warming distraction, allowing the hop character to sustain through the aftertaste.
