India Dormida

India Dormida goes down like the IPA should've been designed in the first place—no showboating. You get a moderate citrus-forward nose, some piney backbone, but nothing that overstays its welcome or makes your palate work. The 6% ABV disappears completely. It's the kind of beer you order when you want to enjoy a few without losing the thread of conversation or the ability to taste your dinner later.

Revelation Cat Dry Hop Thriller

Revelation Cat's dry-hopping is doing the heavy lifting here. There's a resinous, almost floral quality that catches you on the inhale—like someone cracked open fresh hops right in front of you. The finish has a slight sticky quality that tells you those late additions are intentional. At 6.5%, there's marginally more body than India Dormida, and you actually *feel* it supporting the hop profile instead of just getting dry-hopped into oblivion.
