The Hoptimist was the original Brew York DIPA brewed back in 2017 and we really enjoy revisiting the recipe each year and showcasing the latest hop varieties.

For 2021’s release we’ve combined Strata and Idaho 7 for layered notes of tropical fruit from the Strata, whilst Idaho 7 brings zesty marmalade notes and a pleasant earl grey herbal character.

440ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Complex but somehow muted, grassy, leafy and juicy, tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of passion fruit and mango, some melon, yellow stone fruit, hints of bitter orange, guava, overripe tropical fruit. Taste is juicy, tropical fruity hoppy, oaty and wheaty malty, slightly alcoholic, notes of mango, passion fruit, some guava, melon, yellow stone fruit, overripe tropical fruit; bitter, slightly warming, alcoholic finish. Creamy to mushy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Way too alcoholic, relatively subdued hop flavours - more or less disappointing.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and with a decent minerally crispness. Slightly thin malts but bringing an adequate sweetness. Good pine hop intro, crisp cooling pine. Touch of yellow grapefruit and then some slightly recessed Idaho 7 that still delivers that delightful citric tropical melange, just wish it was to the front more. The final furlong is dominated by mildly bitter tangerine and orange marmalade and a mild nibbly hop spice. Semi dry and crispy finish. Nice. Has an edge and is pretty drinkable.

Burk Dipa provning några olika testas hos PQ. När vi häller upp så reagerar man över hur ljus drycken är. Doftar lite ek och blommor. När jag klunkar kommer 🙀otäck torr lätt syntetisk smak. Och eftersmaken är bara torr . Inge vidare Dipa
