HOPIQ TAKE

Cordobeer West Coast IPA if you want a fuller, more assertive presence, Gjulia IPA if you want something that drinks lighter and cleaner. The IBU count is identical at 60, so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's that extra 0.7% ABV on Cordobeer that shifts the whole feel. Both are solid American IPAs, but they're playing slightly different positions in that lane.

TASTING NOTES

Cordobeer West Coast IPA

ResinousHoppyCitrusy

Cordobeer's West Coast IPA lands with real substance. There's a malty backbone here that doesn't disappear behind the hops—you get pine and citrus, yeah, but they're sitting on something that actually fills your mouth. The finish has weight to it, a slight warmth that reminds you of that 6.5% ABV. It's the kind of IPA that feels intentional, not apologetic.

Gjulia IPA

HoppyCitrusyResinous

Gjulia's IPA is noticeably brighter and more nimble. The hops come through sharper, cleaner—less cushioned by grain. It's got good bitterness at 60 IBU, but the lower ABV lets it snap rather than rumble. This one feels like it was built to be crushable without sacrificing actual flavor. You could drink three of these and still feel good about it.
