Mo' Onions

Tap to rate

Mo' Onions is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago outfit known for pushing hop-forward brewing into bold new territory. This American double IPA pours a hazy, golden-amber with a soft, pillowy white head. The aroma is immediately striking — layers of fresh allium, caramelized onion, and savory green herb weave through a backbone of ripe tropical fruit and citrus zest. On the palate, it's surprisingly balanced: juicy stone fruit and mango lead before that distinctive onion character reasserts itself in a playful, almost umami-driven mid-palate. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated. The finish is dry, slightly savory, and lingers with curious complexity. Genuinely unique and adventurous.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately distinctive and layered. Fresh allium and caramelized onion notes emerge prominently alongside herbal green character, underpinned by ripe tropical fruit, mango, and bright citrus zest. The savory hop character does not overwhelm; instead, it weaves cohesively through the fruit-forward foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy stone fruit and mango, establishing a fruit-driven entry. The mid-palate reveals the beer's defining character: that curious onion-forward umami complexity reasserts itself, adding textural depth and savory tension. Moderate bitterness integrates cleanly, supporting rather than dominating the interplay of fruit and savory notes.

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.
