HOPIQ TAKE

DIPA if you want a heavier, more assertive double IPA experience, Urbs In Horto if you want something that punches harder despite being slightly lighter. Both sit at 80 IBUs, so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's the way Revision leans into alcohol warmth and body while Hop Butcher gets surgical with hop precision. The 1% ABV gap might seem small until you're halfway through and realizing one beer is doing more work in your mouth than the other.

TASTING NOTES

DIPA

HoppyCitrusyPeach

DIPA hits different because Revision isn't shy about the 8.5% ABV—you feel it in the way the beer coats your palate and lingers through the finish. There's a slight sticky sweetness upfront, like they're not afraid of residual malt, then the hops come in more as a sharp afterthought than a dominant force. The bitterness arrives late and stays, but it's not the bright, citrus kind—it's more resinous, almost herbal, like someone cracked open pine cones and let them steep.

Urbs In Horto

TropicalHoppyPeach

Urbs In Horto is lean and purposeful in a way that feels almost experimental. The hop character is immediately present—grapefruit pith and something floral that catches you off guard—but the lower ABV means there's less padding underneath, so everything feels exposed. The finish snaps clean without that warming alcohol thickness; it's drier, more refreshing, which makes you want another sip faster. The 80 IBUs feel better integrated here, less like a blunt instrument and more like a full-sentence argument.
