Lord Octopus from Hop Butcher For The World is a Double IPA brewed in Chicago that showcases Mosaic hops as its sole star. This American beer marries ripe tropical fruit with juicy citrus in a surprisingly smooth package despite its 7.5% ABV.

The aroma opens with intense fruity notes underpinned by a hint of vegetal dankness that keeps things interesting. On the palate, tropical and citrus characters take centre stage, with the alcohol well-integrated rather than warming. A clean malt backbone provides balance and drinkability throughout.
