IKAT
Tropical fruit and citrus lead the aroma, then guava, mango, passion fruit and lychee, followed by mellow honey notes and a smooth but surprisingly bold finish. IKAT is a full-bodied, double dry hopped 8% double IPA with Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic. It is named after the Indonesian craft of dyeing yarn before weaving, and won gold and category champion at the 2025 SIBA North East awards.

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, full-bodied, fruity character as IKAT will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
