Bodhi

Tap to rate

Mango, grapefruit, pineapple and citrus roll out of a golden, brilliantly clear Double IPA under a bright white foam. Hopped with Citra, Azacca and Idaho 7, it still drinks smoother than most classic IPAs at 8.3% ABV and ends bright and clean. It is the original of a growing family with lighter, peach and juicy siblings, sold only in Ohio.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and lemon zest—layered over distinct tropical fruit character of ripe mango and pineapple. The Citra, Azacca, and Idaho 7 hop combination creates a cohesive fruity bouquet without sharp resinous edges. Subtle malt sweetness sits beneath, providing gentle support without obscuring the aromatic expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and welcoming, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors carrying through cleanly across the mid-palate. The 8.3% alcohol sits well-integrated, allowing the hop character to remain juicy rather than hot or aggressive. Bitterness resolves at a moderate 80 IBU, providing structure and balance without dominating; a dry, clean finish arrives quickly without harshness.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

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.

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, smooth-drinking, tropical character as Bodhi will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
