🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 86 Double IPAs in hopIQ

I Want to Believe is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago craft outfit known for pushing Pacific Northwest and beyond hop culture to its limits. It pours a hazy, deep golden amber with a frothy off-white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma bursts with tropical fruit — ripe mango, passionfruit, and citrus zest — underscored by a resinous, dank earthiness. On the palate it delivers a lush, full-bodied experience: juicy stone fruit and citrus peel up front, balanced by a moderate bitterness that keeps things honest. The finish is clean yet lingering, with a pleasant resinous warmth. A testament to Chicago's world-class hop-forward brewing scene.

Tulip glass
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.
