HOPIQ TAKE

Aztikeri if you want something with more assertive character and grip, Dissolution IPA if you want restraint and drinkability. Both sit at nearly identical stats—6% and 5.8% ABV, both 60 IBUs—but they're playing different games with those numbers. Aztikeri leans into texture and presence; Dissolution knows how to disappear into a session. Neither is better; it's about what your palate needs that night.

TASTING NOTES

Aztikeri

HoppyCitrusyFruity

Aztikeri hits with a slightly heavier mouthfeel than you'd expect from 6%. There's a waxy, resinous quality to the bitterness that doesn't fade—it sits on your tongue like it's claiming real estate. The hop character is direct, almost mineral in places, with a faint citrus undertone that feels more strategic than effusive. It's the kind of IPA that demands attention; you're not drinking it passively.

Dissolution IPA

HoppyCitrusyFruity

Dissolution is sharper and cleaner on the palate—the 5.8% shows immediately. The bitterness is present but refined, more of a suggestion than a statement. There's decent hop definition here (you get floral and light citrus notes), but it all moves through quickly and pleasantly. This is a beer built for the second or third pour, when you're talking and not thinking too hard about what's in your glass.
