Hopadillo Juicy

Tap to rate

Tropical pineapple and mango lead this Juicy IPA, a full-bodied, fruit-forward pour that keeps its bite. Citra, El Dorado, Strata and Lotus hops ride over pale two-row, light crystal and flaked oats, at 7.3 % and 35 IBU. In the Hopadillo lore it is the hungry one: the creature leaves the brush to feast, not to explore.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with pronounced juicy fruit character—mango and pineapple carry through the palate with natural sweetness from the pale two-row and light crystal malts. Mid-palate shows balanced bittering at 35 IBU, with hop-derived citrus and herbal notes building toward a dry, lingering finish. The oat addition lends roundness and body without heaviness.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
