Dream On

Crafty Devil Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 United Kingdom · Double IPA · One of 129 Double IPAs in hopIQ

Dream On arrives pale and milky, a Double IPA that trades aggressive bite for smooth drinkability. This is a big juice bomb of a hoppy beer—dense with citrus and stone fruit from the hops, yet the mouthfeel stays rounded and approachable rather than harsh. At 8%, it drinks far lighter than its strength suggests, making it dangerously easy to reach for another. The bitterness sits in the background, letting the aroma lead. A beer for extended sessions or when you want hop character without fatigue.

Assertively bitter and dry.

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

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dream On

Appearance

Dream On presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, milky character that sits between translucent and opaque. The head forms thick and persistent, with fine foam that clings to the glass in structured lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft effervescence rather than aggressive fizz.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit—orange zest, apricot, and peach—layered over a clean, resinous hop backbone. Underneath sits a soft, grainy maltz sweetness that frames rather than dominates. The hop character remains forward and juicy without turning harsh or overly verdant.

Taste

Entry is smooth and rounded, with creamy mouthfeel that immediately contradicts the beer's strength. Mid-palate unfolds with full-bodied citrus and tropical stone fruit, their flavours sustained without astringency or sharp bite. Bitterness arrives late and restrained, sitting in the background as a gentle frame rather than a focal point, making the beer dangerously approachable.
