Thor's Hammer
Thor's Hammer is a deep golden, double hopped IPA of 5.1%, bold and impactful: lemon and tropical fruit up front, grapefruit and pine in a striking finish, driven by Chinook, Centennial and Columbus and two rounds of dry hopping. It was brewed for a limited time only. Vikings who settled on Orkney wore small hammer pendants; one was found in a woman's grave at the Broch of Gurness. Bronze at SIBA Scotland 2026.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Thor's Hammer
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, tropical character as Thor's Hammer will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
