Dokkaebi IPA: A Mischievous Spirit in Every Sip
Story Behind Dokkaebi IPA
The Dokkaebi IPA is inspired by Korea’s legendary dokkaebi spirits—playful, bold, and full of surprises. At Dokkaebier, we channeled that same lively energy into creating an IPA that’s more than just a beer; it’s a journey into bold flavors and aromatic delight. Sister to our fan-favorite Dokkaebi DIPA, this IPA is crafted for those who enjoy a full-bodied beer with a rounded mouthfeel and a touch of eccentricity.
What is an IPA?
IPA, or India Pale Ale, is a style of beer known for its strong hop flavor and higher alcohol content compared to regular beer. IPAs were brewed with additional hops to preserve them during long sea voyages. Over time, this hoppy character became a signature feature, offering vibrant aromas, bold bitterness, and complex flavors.
How Is An IPA Different From Regular Beer?
What sets an IPA apart from regular beer is its pronounced hop profile and unique bitterness. While many traditional beers focus on malt-driven sweetness, IPAs bring a balance of floral, citrusy, and herbal notes that deliver an adventurous drinking experience. Dokkaebi IPA takes this a step further by incorporating tropical and Asian-inspired flavors for a truly distinctive craft beer.
What Make Dokkaebi IPA Special?
We designed this beer with the adventurous spirit of our brand in mind, combining quality ingredients and innovative brewing techniques to create an IPA like no other.

Why We Brewed Dokkaebi IPA?
Our mission is to merge traditional brewing methods with Asian-inspired flavors. The Dokkaebi IPA embodies this philosophy, delivering a refreshing yet complex beer that’s perfect for any occasion.

The Hops Behind Dokkaebi IPA
Dokkaebi IPA captures the lively, playful essence of the dokkaebi through its vibrant blend of hops: Mosaic, Citra, and Idaho 7. These hops were carefully selected to create the beer’s signature exotic aromas, full body, and rounded mouthfeel—perfectly balancing eccentricity with approachability.
-
Mosaic: Tropical and Complex
Mosaic hops infuse the beer with tropical notes of mango and pineapple, underscored by a subtle earthiness. This hop adds depth to Dokkaebi IPA, enhancing its bold and playful personality. -
Citra: Bright and Inviting
Citra hops bring a zesty punch of grapefruit and lime, elevating the beer’s refreshing citrus profile. These vibrant flavors mirror the energetic and mischievous character of the dokkaebi, making each sip lively and refreshing. -
Idaho 7: Juicy and Unexpected
Idaho 7 hops round out the experience with juicy stone fruit flavors like peach and apricot, balanced by a touch of pine and herbal tea. This unique combination adds a hint of the unexpected, keeping the beer as intriguing and spirited as its namesake.
By weaving these distinct hop characteristics together, Dokkaebi IPA delivers a flavorful, well-rounded IPA that invites exploration and enjoyment, no matter your beer journey.
