🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 386 American IPAs in hopIQ

Georgetown Brewing's Bodhizafa is a 6.9% American IPA named for Point Break's spiritual drifter—and it drinks like one, all forward momentum and no apologies. Resinous pine and grapefruit lead; the medium body and 65 IBU keep it punchy without becoming a hop sledgehammer. One for drinkers who want their IPA to taste like IPA.

hopIQ take

Very dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

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