Assertively bitter and dry.

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

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

About American IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a American 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 American IPA

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

Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.

Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant grapefruit zest and resinous pine that dominate the sensory profile. Subtle orange notes emerge in the background, complemented by a light, clean Malz undertone that frames without overwhelming the aromatic landscape. The hop character is assertive and fresh, speaking to a careful selection of noble varieties.

Taste

Entry is bright and citrus-forward, with pronounced grapefruit and piney hop flavours building immediately. The mid-palate balances this hoppy intensity with a delicate malt sweetness that provides structure without heaviness. Bitterness develops gradually and remains clean and measured, finishing with a dry, crisp edge that invites the next sip.
