Assertively bitter and dry.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

About Double IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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 tropical, hoppy, peach character as Captain's Daughter will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

Aroma

The nose is aggressive and inviting, dominated by Mosaic hop character expressing ripe tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit—alongside stone fruit notes of peach and apricot. Beneath lies a subtle piney and resinous undertone with hints of white florals, grounded by light malt sweetness.

Taste

The palate enters with bold, assertive bitterness balanced by substantial body and malt richness. Mid-palate reveals layered citrus and peach fruit character, with prominent resinous hop notes and a drying mineral quality. The full-bodied structure supports the 80 IBU without harshness, finishing with lingering pine and dry stone fruit.
