◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango, pineapple, and papaya—layered with bright citrus character reminiscent of grapefruit and orange zest. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics lies a clean, subtle Malz foundation that supports without overwhelming. The dry-hop treatment imparts a fresh, resinous quality that amplifies the overall aromatic intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy, fruit-forward attack that delivers tropical and citrus flavors in quick succession. Mid-palate reveals a balanced bitterness—present but not harsh—that integrates cleanly with the malt base rather than dominating. The finish is dry with a slight warming alcohol presence, maintaining the hop-driven character throughout without becoming cloying or fatiguing.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and resin notes that fade gradually. A subtle warmth from the alcohol content becomes apparent in the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed rather than heavy.

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.

About Double IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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 tropical, hoppy, clean character as G-Bot will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
