Assertively bitter and dry.

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

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

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.

Recommended for this style

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

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for G-Bot

Appearance

Light golden in color with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident in a steady stream of bubbles. The head forms quickly and maintains good retention with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The overall presentation is bright and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted imperial IPA.

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.
