Maxwell & Coney Go To A Ballgame is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, Chicago's celebrated hop-forward craft brewery. It pours a hazy, sun-drenched golden amber with a frothy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma bursts with juicy tropical fruit — ripe mango, tangerine, and passion fruit — underscored by a soft dankness and fresh pine. On the palate, the beer delivers a lush, full-bodied wave of citrus and stone fruit sweetness, balanced by a firm but approachable bitterness that keeps things grounded. The finish is clean and dry, with a pleasant resinous bite that lingers just long enough to invite the next sip. A quintessentially American Double IPA built for sessionable enjoyment.

Very dry and assertively bitter.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
