The thirteenth entry in our exploratory Double IPA series, Society & Solitude #13 features HBC 586, Simcoe, and Strata® hops. Developed by the Hop Breeding Co. (a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches), HBC 586 is perhaps our favorite HBC varietal in the last decade. Strata®—a variety developed by Indie Hops via Oregon State’s Aroma Hop Breeding Program—provides a unique complexity of aromas that buttresses the qualities we enjoy most with our hand-selected Simcoe® hops.

On tap at Mule Bar, Winooski, VT.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet peachy to melon to sticky pine and slightly mango-ish hop tone; super light clean malts - kinda biscuity
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes peachy to mango-ish with a clean malty vibe
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; great smoothness with a superb low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would very much love to return to!

Monk's Cafe on draught: pours hazy yellow with a white. Aroma is hefty citrus and light tropical notes. Taste is tangy, somewhat bitter. Smooth. Quite nice.

Canned on 91/13/2026. Troebele goudgele body met stukjes (gist?) die erin zweven, zoals gewoonlijk. Wit hobbelig schuim met goede retentie en wandplak. Geur uit het blik is dank, harsig, en wat zoet fruit (meloen), maar uit het glas is het veel fruitiger, citrus en guave. Retronasaal is het gistig, deeg, fruitig, juicy. Smaak is zoetig en bitterig tot bitter. Medium body. Aards bittere afdronk.

Draught @ Fools Gold, Manhattan NYC (Aug 2025). Hazy dark yellow-orange like peach juice, large creamy beige head, coriander/mint-citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-coriander-citrus taste, smooth body, long finish. Great flavors!

On tap @As Is. Co-worker had three of these. Hazy, sticky, deep orange honey-colored tulip pour. Looks good. Earthy, boozy, bitter orange nose. Smells good. Sweet onion, earthy pine, lots of pithy & numbing rind, light acid. Somewhat sweet, thick slurry. Okay but not my favorite. I don't like most hazies & I think I don't like Strata.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery. Pours unclear orange-gold with a foamy, off-white head. Moderately sweet with big dank character, a little pee, some mango, tangerine, pine, pale bread, melon, orange rind. Medium to full bodied with massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, ample dank tropical fruits, decent bitter rind and pine. Mighty tasty.

8oz pour at Proletariat is a murky orange with a ring of white head. Clingy. I literally said boom when I smelled it. Big orange and citrus peel, some melon and peach. Punchy and fruity. Flavor is zippy citrus zest and orange and grass, oats come in now along with some faint vanilla, peach sorbet is clear. Finishes just barely off dry, medium bodied and zippy.

Can thanks to William. Pours a cloudy copper gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is dank and tropical fruit. Slick body, pine, mango, melon, grapefruit, light resin finish, very nice.

On tap at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Hazy orange gold pour. Creamy beige head is minimal. Wonderful nose of mango and stone fruit. Flavor is biscuit malt and ripe stone fruit. Earthy yeast mixes with tropical fruits. Some warming alcohol in middle. Dank citrus and resin on backend. This brew is a roller coaster of flavors. Quite tasty.
