🌍 USA · New England Double IPA · One of 15 New England Double IPAs in hopIQ

Dinosaur World was the brewery's first hazy double IPA and returns in recurring releases, hopped heavily with Citra, Amarillo and Mosaic. Passion fruit and tangerine lead, joined by apricot and ripe mango, with a grassy hop note underneath. It pours murky golden orange with a white head. The body is soft and fairly full, a light honeyed malt sweetness supports the fruit, and the bitterness stays mild to moderate.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dinosaur World

◎ Appearance

Dinosaur World pours a murky golden-orange with substantial cloudiness from suspension through the Hefe, characteristic of the New England style. A bright white head forms and persists with moderate retention and visible lacing. The body appears soft and full-bodied, with a fine particulate haze that catches light.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant stone fruit and tropical aromatics led by passion fruit and tangerine, with secondary notes of ripe apricot and mango. A subtle grassy hop character threads beneath the fruit, providing herbal structure without dominating. The malt base remains restrained, allowing the Citra, Amarillo, and Mosaic to command attention.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and round with a light honeyed Malz sweetness that supports rather than competes with the hop-driven fruit profile. Mid-palate carries through the tropical and stone fruit notes with a clean, dry progression. Bitterness remains mild to moderate at 60 IBU, finishing dry without harshness or lingering astringency.
