Assertively bitter and very dry.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for DIPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden-yellow with excellent clarity and a fine white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The beer displays bright, crystalline transparency characteristic of a well-executed Double IPA. Carbonation is present and lively without excessive aggression.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent citrus—orange and tangelo notes lead, followed by ripe peach and stone fruit. Pine and resinous hop character provide backbone, creating a complex but cohesive bouquet. The aromatic profile is lifted and expressive without any harsh alcohol notes or solvent character.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers substantial hop bitterness balanced against a clean, restrained malt foundation. Citrus and peach flavors persist from the nose, with orange pith and piney undertones weaving through the mid-palate. The beer is full-bodied and mouth-filling, yet the bitterness resolves without harsh edges or boozy heat despite the 8.5% ABV.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering pine and citrus oils fading to a clean, crisp conclusion. Hop bitterness persists gently without dominating the aftertaste.

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, peach character as DIPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
