🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 128 Double IPAs in hopIQ

Comm Ave pours a glowing, opaque gold that signals its juicy character at first glance. The aroma reaches toward citrus — Cara Cara orange, preserved peach and clementine combine into something that feels almost like fruit preserve coming alive. What follows drinks lively and soft, the 8.2 percent hiding behind that juicy immediacy. A double IPA built less for assertive bitterness than for bright indulgence, the sort of beer that rewards an unhurried afternoon.

Assertively bitter and dry.

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

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Comm Ave

Aroma

The nose opens with bright, preserved stone fruit—Cara Cara orange, peach, and clementine layer into something reminiscent of fruit preserve coming alive. Noble hops underpin the fruit expression with gentle citral notes, while soft grain sweetness rounds the base. There is no sharp resinous bite; instead, the aromatic profile remains inviting and fruit-forward.

Taste

The palate drinks lively and soft, with the 8.2% alcohol completely integrated and unobtrusive. Juicy citrus and stone fruit dominate the mid-palate, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and subtle wheat character. Bitterness arrives as a balancing counterpoint rather than an assertive force, allowing the fruit and smoothness to command the drinking experience.
