HOPIQ TAKE

Cordobeer West Coast IPA if you want that classic, almost nostalgic hop profile that doesn't overthink itself, Hoppyum IPA if you want something with a bit more modern texture and a fresher citrus snap. They're practically identical on paper—same ABV, same IBU—but the execution differs enough that it matters. Cordobeer feels like it's leaning into tradition, while Hoppyum punches slightly harder on the finish.

TASTING NOTES

Cordobeer West Coast IPA

ResinousHoppyCitrusy

Cordobeer West Coast IPA hits with that clean, straightforward bitterness you expect from the style—nothing tricky. There's a golden pine quality that sits right in the middle of your palate, then fades predictably. The 6.5% ABV is barely perceptible; it drinks almost lighter than it is. This is a beer that knows what it is and doesn't apologize for it.

Hoppyum IPA

HoppyCitrusyResinous

Hoppyum has more immediate brightness—you feel the citrus and herbal notes land first, then the bitterness follows with a slightly drier mouthfeel. There's a touch more resin, a bit more grip on the finish. At 6.3%, it feels more contained, more refined. The hop character doesn't linger quite as long, but while it's there, it's more defined.
