HOPIQ TAKE

Dippity Do if you want something with more assertive hop character and bite, Moonwake IPA if you want a smoother, more approachable ride. Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, so the real difference is in how Throwback's version snaps at you—there's a peppery, almost herbal aggression that catches you immediately, while Moonwake leans into a softer, more rounded bitterness. Neither is objectively better; it's about whether you're in a mood to be challenged or to coast.

TASTING NOTES

Dippity Do

HoppyCleanCrisp

Dippity Do hits you with this immediate citrus-pine punch that doesn't apologize. There's a dryness that lingers on your palate, almost chalky, which is exactly what you want from an IPA that doesn't waste time with sweetness. The carbonation is snappier than you'd expect at 5.7%, and there's this underlying herbal note—almost minty—that keeps things interesting through the finish. It's a beer that demands your attention.

Moonwake IPA

HoppyCitrusyClean

Moonwake is the friend who's genuinely fun to hang around without being exhausting about it. The hop profile is there—you get the citrus, some light stone fruit—but it arrives gently, without the aggression. The bitterness is cleaner, less complex, which actually makes it easier to drink through a whole session. It's balanced in a way that doesn't feel like a compromise; it just feels intentional and chill.
