HOPIQ TAKE

Bodhizafa IPA if you want more alcohol warmth and a slightly heavier pour, Sea Hag IPA if you want a cleaner, snappier finish. Both hit the same IBU wall at 60, so bitterness isn't your differentiator here—it's really about whether you're in the mood for that extra 0.7% ABV to add some weight to the middle palate. The real story is how each brewery interprets the American IPA template: Georgetown leans into a more substantial, malt-forward body, while New England keeps things tighter and more linear.

TASTING NOTES

Bodhizafa IPA

HoppyCitrusyResinous

Bodhizafa has this satisfying thickness that doesn't feel bloated. There's genuine caramel-tinged backbone holding up the hop profile, which reads more pine and resin than citrus. The bitterness lingers but it's not aggressive—it's more like a handshake that doesn't let go immediately. Drinks bigger than 6.9% suggests, which is exactly what Georgetown intended.

Sea Hag IPA

HoppyResinousCrisp

Sea Hag snaps you to attention right away. It's leaner, meaner, and the IBU 60 feels sharper here because there's less malt padding underneath it. Citrus and herbal notes are brighter and more defined. It finishes dry—almost mineral-like—which makes it feel lighter and more sessionable despite only being 0.7% lower in alcohol. This is the IPA that doesn't overstay its welcome.
