Drake’s Hopocalypse is an unyielding force of hop zombies intent on invading taste buds and destroying the notion double IPAs can’t be easy drinking brews or as Ana puts it, “It seems like it will mess you up without you noticing.” Be warned, the 9.3% alcohol by volume (ABV) is indeed hoppy yet feels light on the palate for the high ABV. Highly recommended and enjoyed by yours truly. One of the top Double IPAs we have tried to date.

For the nerds:
