DIPA styles

Your wife is comparable to...?

 

Sadly, not even close.

 

Now moving on to an Alchemy Hour IIPA I can say it is not very similar to the Mojo Rising. The Mojo Rising uses Centennial and Amarillo hops and the Alchemy uses Mosiac (never had before), Nugget, and Cascade. It's probably my love of Amarillo that makes me like Mojo Rising so much.

 

I thought it was a good question. There are different qualities within the DIPA style - malt vs hop balance, character of hops, etc. What you're asking is which DIPAs have similar qualities to the beers you name. Obviously there is a great deal of variation in how people perceive beers though.

 

Seems like most DIPAs use too many different hops to really do this, might be easier with IPA's. Hopslam uses Simcoe for dry hop but also uses 5 other varieties, Dreadnaught also uses some Simcoe I think, so does Pliny, but it doesn't really define any of them but it does define Weyerbacher Double Simcoe.

 

Nothing like a bunch of BAs helping out a new craft drinker who has a question.

IIPAs can be tough to compare, because of the usual complexity of the hop profile (and usually a more complex malt bill as well).

A lot of breweries will list the hop varieties used for their beers on their websites, so you might be able to find different beers that seem to be similiarly built.

But the best way to find out is to just keep trying new things.

 

exactly I was excited when I saw this thread, something different to talk about, everyone could compare IIPAs and state similarities and differences.
