Assertively bitter and dry.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

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

About Double IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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 hoppy, citrusy, fruity character as Swish will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

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.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

The nose is assertive and layered, dominated by pungent citrus notes—bright lemon and orange zest—with distinct tropical fruit character from the Mosaic and Citra hops. Beneath the hop-forward profile, soft wheat and light Malz notes provide subtle grounding without obscuring the aromatic intensity. A clean, resinous quality keeps the impression fresh and inviting.

Taste

The palate opens with direct citrus and tropical fruit, seamlessly transitioning into a moderately firm bitterness that remains balanced rather than harsh. The wheat and golden promise Malz contribute a light, almost delicate body that allows the hop flavors to dominate without becoming cloying. The finish is dry and lingering, with the bitterness slowly fading into a clean aftertaste.
