hopIQ take

Assertively bitter and very dry.

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

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Perle DIPA

Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and an assertive white head that clings to the glass with defined lacing. The carbonation is crisp and persistent, creating a lively visual presence that speaks to the beer's energy.

Aroma

The nose leads with bold tropical stone fruit—mango and pineapple—underlaid by a resinous, piney hop character that fills the space immediately. A subtle citrus zest and orange peel brightness emerge on the second pass, with only a whisper of grain beneath the hop intensity.

Taste

Entry is oily and full-bodied, coating the palate with waves of exotic fruit that echo the aroma's tropical promise. The mid-palate develops a layered bitterness—earthy and clean rather than harsh—while maintaining the fruit character. A persistent drying effect builds steadily toward the finish, with piney resin lingering on the tongue.

Finish

The finish stretches long and dry, with a sustained bitter aftertaste that gradually fades into a faint orange citrus memory. No harsh alcohol burn despite the 8.5% ABV, allowing the resinous quality to define the close.

About Double IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Double 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 Double IPA

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