Tasting Notes
Everybody Wants Some leans into the juicy, tropical side of the American IPA spectrum, with aromas of ripe mango, citrus peel, and a faint piney undercurrent. On the palate, hop bitterness is present but not aggressive — it's balanced by a soft, slightly bready malt base that keeps things grounded. The body is medium-light, and the finish is moderately dry with lingering citrus and resin. It's a well-structured hop-forward beer without being abrasive.
About the Brewery
Hoof Hearted is based in Columbus, Ohio, and has built a strong regional following largely on the strength of its hop-driven lineup and irreverent, often absurdist branding. Founded in 2013, they operate both a production facility and taproom, and have developed a reputation for consistently well-made IPAs and hazy beers alongside their more playful one-offs. Their canned releases tend to generate genuine enthusiasm in the Midwest craft beer market.
Food Pairings
The citrus and resin character here works well with fish tacos, where lime and mild white fish mirror the beer's brighter hop notes. Spicy Thai dishes like pad see ew benefit from the malt backbone tempering the heat. A sharp cheddar or aged gouda holds its own against the bitterness without being overwhelmed. Grilled chicken thighs with a citrus-herb marinade echo the beer's aromatic profile in a straightforward, complementary way.
Style Guide
The American IPA is defined by assertive hop character — bitterness, aroma, or both — built on a relatively clean, neutral malt base that keeps the hops front and center. ABVs typically fall between 6% and 7.5%, sitting above a standard pale ale but below the double IPA threshold. It originated in the U.S. as a more aggressively hopped take on the English IPA tradition, and distinguishes itself from its English counterpart by favoring American hop varieties that deliver citrus, pine, and tropical fruit over the earthier, more floral English profile.
