🌍 United States · Triple IPA · One of 11 Triple IPAs in hopIQ

Facepeeler is a Triple IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the Chicago craft powerhouse known for pushing hop-forward brewing to its limits. This Midwestern beast pours a hazy, deep golden-amber with a frothy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is an immediate, unapologetic assault of tropical fruit — ripe mango, passionfruit, and juicy tangerine layered over dank pine resin and a whisper of citrus zest. On the palate, a pillowy, full-bodied malt base supports wave after wave of hop intensity without veering into harsh bitterness. The finish is long, warming, and resinous, with a satisfying boozy glow that reminds you this is serious territory. Not for the faint-hearted — Facepeeler earns its name.

Very dry and assertively bitter.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Facepeeler

Appearance

Facepeeler pours a hazy deep golden-amber with suspended sediment creating a soft, diffuse clarity that catches light warmly. A frothy white head builds with vigor and persists across the surface, leaving delicate lacing along the glass rim. The carbonation is moderate, visible as fine bubbles that rise steadily through the cloudy body.

Aroma

The nose announces itself immediately with ripe tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit dominate, layered underneath with bright tangerine zest and juicy citrus notes. Beneath this fruity veil sits a earthy, dank pine resin foundation with hints of herbal green. The overall aromatic profile is bold and unapologetic, heavy on Edelhopfen character with minimal malt contribution.

Taste

Entry brings a pillowy, full-bodied malt structure that refuses to collapse under aggressive hop pressure. Mid-palate unfolds in waves of resinous pine, juicy citrus, and lingering tropical notes, while a measured bitterness (90 IBU) develops smoothly rather than harshly. The 10.25% alcohol is present as warmth and sweetness but remains well-integrated into the overall balance.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with resinous hop bitterness holding firm alongside a gentle alcoholic glow. Residual tropical and citrus notes linger in the aftertaste, gradually fading into dry, piney recollection.
