🌍 United Kingdom · American IPA · One of 373 American IPAs in hopIQ

Drops Of Flora arrives as a maximalist American IPA: tropical fruit dominates from the first sip, with passionfruit, guava and mango forming a bright core, then peach and white grape add roundness beneath. A fresh, sharp citrus-rind bitterness cuts through and prevents the fruit sweetness from settling, while a dank herbal underlay grounds the whole composition. This is an IPA that holds nothing back—all intensity, all in. Drink it young and cold to keep the citrus snap alive and let the fruit register at full volume.

Aroma

The nose opens with an immediate tropical fruit assault: passionfruit and guava leap forward, joined by ripe mango and stone fruit notes. Beneath this fruit-forward sweetness lies a clean citrus-rind sharpness, grounded by a dank herbal undertone that prevents the aroma from becoming cloying.

Taste

The palate arrives with concentrated tropical fruit—passionfruit, guava, and mango form the core—while peach and white grape add textural softness in the mid-palate. A sharp, clean citrus bitterness cuts through immediately and sustains throughout, preventing fruit sweetness from dominating, while herbal and slightly dank notes anchor the composition.
