🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 342 American IPAs in hopIQ

Chandeleur's Gulf Coast IPA — bright citrus and tropical hop aromatics on a clean pale-malt base, a moderate bitterness that stays in balance rather than dominating. Named for the small side of the Chandeleur experience. Not the hardest hitter in Mississippi's IPA scene — the point is drinkable, not brutal.

What is a American 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.

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.
