Cape May IPA

Cape May IPA hits clean and direct. There's a bright citrus snap up front—grapefruit rind, a little lemon zest—that doesn't overstay its welcome. The 6.3% keeps it nimble; you can taste individual hop notes instead of just 'hops.' Mid-palate is where it gets smart: there's a subtle sweetness that makes the bitterness feel intentional, not aggressive. Finishes dry but never harsh. This is a beer that tastes like someone cared about restraint.

Hop Drop 'N Roll

Hop Drop 'N Roll has more presence. That extra 0.9% ABV brings a warmth you feel in the throat, and the body is noticeably thicker—there's almost a creamy texture underneath the hop bitterness. The hop character is louder: pine, maybe some stone fruit, a touch of resinous earth. It's still balanced at 60 IBUs, but the alcohol sweetness underneath gives it more complexity. Drinks almost like a session IPA that decided to bulk up.
