Birrificio Fiorentino IPA

Birrificio Fiorentino's version hits you with a cleaner bittering profile right away—that 60 IBU lands sharp and doesn't apologize. There's a distinct grapefruit and lemon pith quality that feels purposeful, like they wanted you to taste the decision to go citrus-forward. The body stays lean and dry through the finish, which lets the hop character breathe without anything soft getting in the way. It's the kind of IPA that tastes like it was brewed to show off restraint, not muscle.

Cavana IPA

Cavana's take feels slightly cushioned—there's a whisper more malt backbone that sits underneath the hops, giving the whole thing a rounder mouth feel. The bitterness is still there at 60 IBU, but it integrates differently, almost creeping in rather than announcing itself. You get some piney, herbaceous notes alongside the citrus, which makes it feel a touch more complex and less one-dimensional. It drinks like a beer that's comfortable with itself, not trying to prove anything.
