🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 86 Double IPAs in hopIQ

The Day We Floated is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago hop-forward specialist. It pours a hazy, sun-kissed golden amber with a soft, pillowy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma drifts into dreamlike territory — ripe tropical fruits, juicy stone fruit, and a cushion of citrus zest ride above a gentle, doughy malt backbone. On the palate, the beer lives up to its name, delivering a smooth, almost weightless body that floats waves of mango, peach, and tangerine across the tongue. Bitterness is present but refined, never aggressive, tapering into a clean, resinous finish with just a whisper of pine. A hazy Midwestern daydream in a glass.

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