HOPIQ TAKE

Hop Ride IPA if you want bold, aggressive hop character that grabs your attention; Pasteur Street Jasmine IPA if you want something more refined and floral that plays well with food. They're both solid American IPAs at nearly identical bitterness, but Tenaya Creek leans into the classic West Coast punch while Pasteur Street's jasmine addition softens the edges and adds elegance. ABV difference is minimal—really comes down to whether you want confrontation or conversation in a glass.

TASTING NOTES

Hop Ride IPA

FloralHoppyCitrusy

Hop Ride hits you immediately with pine and citrus that doesn't mess around. There's a resinous quality that coats your mouth in that satisfying way that makes you sit up straighter. At 7.2%, it's got enough body to feel substantial without being heavy, and the bitterness lingers clean—not harsh, just persistent. This is the IPA that demands you pay attention to it.

Pasteur Street Jasmine IPA

FloralHoppyDry

Pasteur Street's jasmine addition is immediately noticeable on the nose—delicate, almost perfumy, but not overdone or soapy. The hop profile underneath is still there (you get stone fruit and a gentle herbal note), but the jasmine acts like a buffer, making it approachable even for people who find aggressive IPAs off-putting. It's the kind of beer that tastes better as you drink it, revealing layers rather than leading with volume.
