HOPIQ TAKE

Dippity Do if you want a snappier, more aggressive hop bite, Moonwake IPA if you want something smoother and more sessionable. Both clock in at nearly identical specs—5.7 vs 5.5% ABV, same 60 IBUs—but the execution feels different on the palate. Dippity Do leans into that classic American IPA sharpness, while Moonwake rounds out the edges in a way that makes it easier to drink a second one without fatigue.

TASTING NOTES

Dippity Do

HoppyCleanCrisp

Dippity Do hits you with a clean, citrus-forward punch right off the pour. There's a brightness to it—almost grapefruit and pine layering at once—that doesn't feel muddied or over-extracted. The malt backbone is lean but present enough to keep it from tasting thin. I get that characteristic American IPA snap on the finish that lingers just long enough to feel intentional rather than abrasive.

Moonwake IPA

HoppyCitrusyClean

Moonwake IPA is the friendlier version of this beer type. The hops are definitely there—I'm catching citrus and a subtle herbal quality—but they're woven into a slightly fuller malt bed that gives the beer more roundness. There's less aggressive bite and more of a warm, almost creamy mouthfeel for its ABV. It's the kind of beer where the bitterness doesn't announce itself; it just quietly belongs.
