Unwind Your Mind

Tap to rate

Unwind Your Mind is a Double IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, the celebrated Chicago craft outfit known for pushing hop-forward boundaries. Hazy golden amber in the glass, it pours with a soft, pillowy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma bursts with quintessentially American hop character — ripe tropical fruit, juicy citrus peel, and a whisper of fresh pine resin. On the palate, the body is medium-full and smooth, delivering waves of mango, tangerine, and stone fruit alongside a subtle biscuity malt backbone that keeps things grounded. The bitterness is firm yet refined, building gradually toward a clean, satisfying finish that leaves a pleasant, resinous warmth. A genuinely restorative pour for the discerning hop enthusiast.

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.
