Dun Dun Dun

Tap to rate

Dun Dun Dun is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago hop-forward specialists known for pushing Midwestern craft brewing to its limits. It pours a hazy, deep golden amber with a soft, pillowy white head. The aroma bursts with tropical fruit — ripe mango, passionfruit, and citrus zest — layered over a gentle resinous pine backbone. On the palate, the beer delivers a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel with waves of juicy stone fruit and a subtle sweetness that keeps the bitterness in check. The finish is clean and moderately dry, leaving a pleasantly lingering hop presence that invites the next sip. A confident, well-crafted DIPA from one of Chicago's finest.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dun Dun Dun

◎ Appearance

Dun Dun Dun presents a hazy, deep golden amber with excellent opacity and a soft, pillowy white head that clings to the glass with modest persistence. The cloudiness is characteristic of the style, born from suspended yeast and hop particles rather than chill haze. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, producing fine bubbles that rise steadily through the dense body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive tropical fruit — ripe mango and passionfruit dominate the mid-range, backed by bright citrus zest. A gentle resinous pine backbone anchors the profile, preventing the beer from becoming overly fruity. The overall aromatic impression is clean and well-resolved, with no off-notes or oxidation.

◐ Taste

The palate reveals a lush, full-bodied character with waves of juicy stone fruit and peach that unfold across the mid-palate. A subtle residual sweetness keeps the substantial bitterness (80 IBU) balanced rather than aggressive, allowing hop flavor to integrate harmoniously with body. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, never harsh or astringent.

Tulip glass

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