🌍 United Kingdom · Double IPA · One of 104 Double IPAs in hopIQ

A double IPA on four hops all pulling the same way: Nectaron and Strata from the newer generation, alongside Nelson Sauvin and Azacca. What comes out drips with peach, passionfruit, pineapple, strawberry and mango — with the dank, resinous hum underneath that gives it depth. At eight percent, a beer for autumn evenings rather than midday heat.

Assertively bitter and dry.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for As Above, So Below

Appearance

A pale golden brew with gentle haze, betraying the four-hop blend at work. The head builds modestly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation registers as lively but restrained, appropriate to the beer's weight.

Aroma

The nose opens with stone fruit—peach and apricot—before tropical notes of passionfruit and mango emerge. Beneath runs a distinct resinous, dank undertone from the Edelhopfen, grounding the fruitiness with herbal depth and mild pine.

Taste

Entry is full and fruity, with peach and mango leading. Mid-palate develops a satisfying bitterness—not aggressive, but present—layered with that resinous character. The finish carries citrus notes and lingering hop bite without astringency.
