🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 308 American IPAs in hopIQ

The flagship that started it all — the first keg hand-delivered to a local beach bar in 2011. Apollo, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Centennial give dank citrus and pine over a clean malt backbone, finishing with a firm, dry, lingering bitterness. Classic Cape May from can one.

What is a American 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 American IPA

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
