HOPIQ TAKE

Cordobeer West Coast IPA if you want that classic, restrained hop bite that doesn't overshadow the malt, Hoppyum IPA if you want more aggressive aromatic punch despite identical IBUs. Both clock in at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, but they're split on *how* they deploy those hops—one's more architectural, one's more loud.

TASTING NOTES

Cordobeer West Coast IPA

ResinousHoppyCitrusy

Cordobeer West Coast IPA lands like a refined take on the style's origins. The hop character is there—you get some citrus and pine—but it's measured, almost respectful of the grain backbone underneath. The 6.5% ABV gives it just enough body to anchor the bitterness at 60 IBUs, so it doesn't feel thin or abrasive. This is a beer that tastes like someone had a point of view about restraint.

Hoppyum IPA

HoppyCitrusyResinous

Hoppyum IPA hits you with more aromatic presence right off the bat. Same IBU count, but the hops feel more extroverted here—brighter, more floral notes jumping out before the malt even gets a word in. It's a fraction lighter at 6.3% ABV, which actually makes the hop character feel even more prominent since there's less malt sweetness to cushion it. This one's built for people who want to *taste* the hops doing their thing.
