Velveteen Habit
Floral hops open the nose, followed by grapefruit, lime and orange with a hint of tropical and peach-like stone fruit, all driven by Citra hops. Caramel and toasty malt give the hops real company, resinous fruit notes carry the palate, and a crisp hop bite sharpens it. A hop-forward IPA at 52 IBU.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Velveteen Habit
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, resinous character as Velveteen Habit will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
