A Deeper Dish

Hop Butcher For The World
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Triple IPA · One of 11 Triple IPAs in hopIQ

A Deeper Dish is a bold Triple IPA from Chicago's Hop Butcher For The World, a brewery celebrated for pushing Midwestern hop craft to its limits. This West Coast–leaning behemoth pours a hazy golden-amber with a frothy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma bursts with layers of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus rind, and a resinous pine backbone that signals serious lupulin intent. On the palate, a lush, full-bodied malt foundation carries waves of tropical mango, blood orange, and dank herbal bitterness in perfect tension. The finish is long, warming, and satisfyingly resinous — a deep-dish-sized serving of everything hop lovers crave, executed with the confident precision that defines Hop Butcher's reputation.

Very dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for A Deeper Dish

Appearance

A Deeper Dish presents as a hazy golden-amber, with fine suspended particles lending a soft, inviting glow to the glass. The frothy white head builds generously and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, creating visual evidence of the beer's full body and carbonation structure.

Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and candied citrus rind, followed by a pronounced resinous pine backbone that immediately signals serious hop character. Beneath these bright top notes, a subtle herbal dankness and malt sweetness provide depth and counterbalance, inviting repeated sniffs.

Taste

The palate opens with a lush, malty foundation that supports waves of tropical mango and blood orange, balanced by a bracing herbal and resinous bitterness. The full body carries the hop intensity throughout the mid-palate without becoming harsh, maintaining complexity through to the swallow.
