Assertively bitter and dry.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

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 hoppy, citrusy, clean character as Dinner will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

How to get the most out of Dinner
Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.
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.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dinner
◎ Appearance
Deep golden-amber body with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that sustains a dense, cream-colored head. The lacing clings persistently to the glass with each sip, revealing the beer's generous carbonation and well-structured foam.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus—primarily grapefruit and orange zest—layered over sharp, resinous pine and woody undertones characteristic of East Coast Edelhopfen varieties. A restrained malt sweetness provides ballast without obscuring the hop-forward character.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with assertive hop bitterness and citrus intensity that commands attention from the first sip. A fuller malt body—evident but never cloying—supports the bitterness through the mid-palate, while orange notes and subtle pine linger alongside a drying sensation. The finish arrives cleaner than typical for a Double IPA of this strength.
◑ Finish
The bitter, piney aftertaste persists with moderate length, gradually fading to a dry, slightly astringent note. Despite the 8.2% ABV and 80 IBU profile, alcohol warmth remains subtle and well-integrated.
