IPA

Tap to rate

Left deliberately hazy, brewed on Quebec pilsner, pale and oat malt with a heavy late and dry hop charge. Mango and grapefruit lead the nose, with pine needle and a sappy, resinous note behind them. Oats give a soft, slightly chewy body that carries the hop oil, and 40 IBU of bitterness builds through the middle without cutting the fruit off. The finish is dry, piney and moderately long.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for IPA

◎ Appearance

Deliberately hazy with a pale golden hue, the beer displays the characteristic cloudiness of a New England–style IPA. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate retention, leaving soft trails of lacing as you drink. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

Mango and grapefruit dominate the nose, immediately expressing the beer's tropical and citrus character. Behind these fruit-forward notes lie pine needle and a distinctly sappy, resinous quality that anchors the aromatic profile. The oat and pale malts contribute a subtle sweetness that frames without overwhelming the hop expression.

◐ Taste

The oat malt provides a soft, slightly chewy body that carries the hop oils smoothly across the palate. Bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate at 40 IBU—enough to define structure without stripping away the fruit character. The interplay between tropical fruitiness and piney, resinous notes sustains interest without harshness.

◑ Finish

Serve at 8–11°C

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.

About IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a 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 IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, resinous, dry character as IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
