Our Most Popular IPA

Tap to rate

Evil Twin Brewing NYC calls this its flagship IPA. It is brewed and double dry-hopped with Citra alone, so one hop variety sets the tone of the whole beer, and the Untappd listing of the brewery's own account places it among the hazy IPAs. It comes from the brewery in Ridgewood, Queens. Evil Twin began as a nomadic brand in 2010, and Evil Twin Brewing NYC was founded in 2016.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Our Most Popular IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze throughout, creating a soft, cloudy appearance characteristic of the style. A thick, creamy head forms on the pour with fine retention and visible lacing down the glass. Moderate carbonation drives gentle effervescence within the suspended yeast and hop particles.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright, candied citrus—primarily grapefruit zest and tangerine—layered with tropical stone fruit and subtle passionfruit notes. A gentle floral sweetness from the Citra hop sits beneath, with minimal malt character visible, allowing the single-hop focus to shine. Clean fermentation adds freshness without yeast-derived phenolics or esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with citrus flavor building immediately across the mid-palate—zesty lemon and orange segments give way to subtle melon and tropical fruit depth. Bitterness arrives at moderate intensity (50 IBU), balanced and never harsh, fading into a dry finish without astringency. Light Malz sweetness provides structure without heaviness, supporting the hop-forward profile throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with citrus notes lingering gently for several seconds without becoming overly dry. A subtle tropical echo remains on the palate as the hop intensity recedes, leaving the mouth feeling bright and thirst-quenching.

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.
