Elephino
Pine and citrus lead, with grapefruit and citrus zest on top, a resinous edge and soft caramel malt underneath. The body is sturdy, the bitterness sharp and crisp at 88 IBU, and a slight piney aftertaste lingers. Red Rock's most requested beer was born "Elephant" until a Danish lager brewery's beer of the same name forced a rename; the misheard "Elephino" was a unanimous pick.

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 citrusy, bitter, piney character as Elephino will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
