LolliHop

Tap to rate

Pear, citrus and a hint of melon lead. Dry-hopping with Citra and Mosaic layers in orange, grapefruit and melon, while Azacca in the kettle adds hints of papaya and pineapple. Locally harvested rustic pale malt forms the backbone, and wheat and oats make this double IPA silky smooth with a touch of haze. Three hop favorites from the brewery's annual pilgrimage to the Yakima Valley come together here. 8.2% ABV, brewed year round.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for LolliHop

◎ Appearance

LolliHop presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haziness, characteristic of the wheat and oat adjuncts employed in its grain bill. The dense, cream-colored head forms readily and maintains moderate Schaumhaftung down the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending visual liveliness to the suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright pear and citrus notes, followed by distinct tropical fruit—ripe papaya and pineapple from the Azacca kettle addition. Dry-hopping with Citra and Mosaic builds layers of orange zest and grapefruit flesh, with subtle melon undertones. A soft, grainy Malz foundation supports the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The entry is smooth and juicy, with orange and grapefruit flavors arriving cleanly across the mid-palate. A silky mouthfeel—aided by wheat and oat—carries the tropical melon character into the development, where bitter hop resins emerge with measured intensity. The 80 IBU bitterness is present and assertive yet integrated, never harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering citrus pith and a gentle hop bite that fades gracefully. Residual tropical notes persist softly on the palate.

Tulip 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.

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 citrusy, smooth, tropical character as LolliHop will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
