HOPIQ TAKE

Aztikeri if you want clean, straightforward hop expression without distraction, Earl Grey IPA if you want someone to have actually thought about what's *in* your beer. Both sit at the same ABV and bitterness, so the gap between them is entirely about intent—one's a solid American IPA doing the job, the other's playing with flavor layers you'll actually taste.

TASTING NOTES

Aztikeri

HoppyCitrusyFruity

Aztikeri pours with this almost reserved confidence. You get bright citrus and pine upfront, the kind of hop character that doesn't announce itself but settles in clean. The 60 IBU sits right where it should—enough bite to keep things interesting without turning your palate into a wasteland. It's the beer you drink when you want hops to be hops, not when you want hops to be *something else*.

Earl Grey IPA

HoppyCitrusyFruity

Earl Grey IPA leans into its name in ways that actually work. There's a floral, slightly astringent thread running underneath the standard American IPA framework—that bergamot tea connection isn't heavy-handed, just present enough that you catch yourself thinking about it halfway through. The bitterness plays as almost herbal rather than purely resinous. It's a beer that assumes you're paying attention.
