Deep Ellum IPA

Deep Ellum IPA hits clean. There's a snappy citrus bite right up front—grapefruit pith, not juice—followed by a pine resin dryness that doesn't overstay. The finish is crisp enough that you feel the carbonation working, and there's almost no lingering sweetness. It's the kind of IPA that tastes like the brewers knew exactly what they wanted and didn't add anything extra. Works because it respects restraint.

Hopulent IPA

Hopulent feels rounder in your mouth. There's a honey-and-caramel undertone supporting the hops, which gives the bitterness somewhere to land instead of cutting straight through. The hop character is more herbal and earthy—less citrus pop, more of a green, almost grassy complexity. Finishes with a slight sweetness that says the malt is doing serious work. It's the more indulgent of the two.
