OTHER VISION DIPA Complete Analysis Report – A Masterpiece Created by Former Modern Times Brewers
The “OTHER VISION DIPA” crafted by Seattle’s rising brewery “Human People Beer” is an innovative Double IPA that embodies the “alternative vision” envisioned by former Modern Times head brewers. Despite its high alcohol content of 8.4%, it’s surprisingly dry and drinkable, with an impressive complex and beautiful aroma development created by three hops: Citra, Eggers Nelson, and Krush. This article is based on experiences from visiting on opening day, June 7, 2025, and published in June of the same year.
Sediment at Can Bottom – Evidence of Living Beer
At the bottom of OTHER VISION DIPA cans, you can observe **natural sediment of yeast and enzymes**. This is not a quality issue, but rather evidence of **unfiltered, unpasteurized fresh beer**. In Hazy IPAs and Double IPAs, it’s common for dry hopping-derived components to combine with yeast and settle.
There’s something settled at the bottom of the can! Is this okay?
That’s natural sediment of yeast and hop tannins – evidence of living beer! With dry hopping techniques, it’s normal for hop-derived proteins and yeast to combine and settle! It actually shows high quality! Since it can sometimes taste more intense or bitter, I recommend first pouring the beer separately from the bottom and main body to see how it goes.
So it means “natural beer that hasn’t been overly processed industrially.” When you transfer it to a small glass, you can infer the brewing method from the amount and color of the sediment, which is interesting.

I’ve heard of Modern Times! Is it a famous brewery?
Modern Times is a prestigious San Diego brewery that has received high national acclaim for Orderville IPA and Black House Coffee Stout! These highly skilled brewers have started a new challenge in Seattle!

Taproom Experience – Opening Day Crowds and Warm Atmosphere
Human People Beer Cafe features a warm, cafe-like atmosphere with unique spatial design inspired by Polish milk bars. Being opening day, it was **packed by around 3 PM** with many customers unable to find seats, showing its popularity.
Jazz and Japanese music play throughout the space, creating a comfortable environment. Notably, **it opens at 8 AM and serves breakfast**, which is distinctive. The food menu is extensive, featuring sandwiches and salads made with local Ben’s Table Bread, and even authentic dishes using Mortadella (Italian sausage). Check out the detailed visit report at the following URL!
The staff service was also very attentive! I’ve met the brewer several times at events and talked with them before, and they remembered me when I ordered, which made me happy.
Complete Tap List for June 7, 2025
Here’s the complete tap list for the day OTHER VISION DIPA was available. The lineup features a wide range from lagers and pilsners to IPAs and specialty beers.
| Beer Name | Style | ABV | Price |
| Piknik Pils | Pilsner | 4.3% | $8 |
| Big Country Pils | Country Pilsner | 4.5% | $8 |
| Lovers Helles | Helles | 4.5% | $8 |
| Free Jazz | Dark Lager | 4.5% | $8 |
| Living Haus | Smoked Helles | 5.1% | $8 |
| Beer 3000 | Hoppy Pils | 5.5% | $8 |
| Producerist | West Coast IPA | 7.5% | $9 |
| What Have You | Hazy IPA | 7.5% | $9 |
| Other Vision | Double IPA | 8.4% | $9 |
What’s the difference between Helles and Pilsner? As a beginner, I don’t really understand…
Great question! Helles originates from Bavaria, Germany, and is a golden lager characterized by malt sweetness. Pilsner, on the other hand, originates from Pilsen, Czech Republic, and features the gorgeous aroma and pleasant bitterness of Saaz hops!
Simply put, Helles is “gentle and easy to drink,” while Pilsner is “refreshing and crisp.” Both are recommended for beginners.
Detailed Hop Analysis – Complex Aromas Woven by Three Hops
The charm of OTHER VISION DIPA lies in how three distinctive hops play perfect complementary roles. Let’s analyze in detail the characteristics of each hop and their role in this beer.
Citra – The Tropical Fruit Star
Citra, originating from Washington State, USA, is a popular hop known for citrus (lime, lemon, grapefruit) and tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit) aromas. In this beer, it functions as **the primary tropical fruit aroma base**.
Eggers Nelson – Innovation in Terroir Expression
“Eggers Nelson” is an unusual name. How is it different from regular Nelson Sauvin?
This is amazing! Eggers Nelson is a special Nelson Sauvin grown on a farm at 32 Eggers Road in the Upper Moutere region of New Zealand! The challenging soil conditions create stress, achieving a unique and vibrant Nelson expression!
So it’s an “innovative approach applying wine’s terroir concept to hops.” It’s quality so remarkable that Tree House Brewing took notice and featured it specially.
Eggers Nelson Characteristics
- Farm: Upper Moutere region, New Zealand, 32 Eggers Road
- Special Growing Conditions: Challenging soil conditions create stress achieving unique expression
- Industry Recognition: Tree House Brewing specially featured as “Nelson Many Ways – Eggers Hops”
- Terroir Concept: Application of wine industry’s appellation principles to hop cultivation
- Harvest Technique: Perfect timing control avoiding “too late = garlic-like, too early = leafy” characteristics
Krush (HBC 586) – Revolutionary Hop 17 Years in the Making
Krush (HBC 586) is a notable new hop variety that required **17 years of development** from its 2007 breeding start to 2024 commercialization. Developed by Hop Breeding Company (John I. Haas + Yakima Chief Ranches joint venture), it was born as an independent lineage not directly descended from famous varieties.
Krush’s greatest feature is the rare characteristic that “hop aroma matches the beer’s taste”! It has complex fruit salad flavors expressing mango, guava, peach, and berry!
In this beer, it’s used as “a kiss of (just a little),” so it’s an exquisite blend that suppresses resinous character while utilizing berry notes.
Tasting Notes – Surprising Drinkability Despite 8.4%
The greatest charm of OTHER VISION DIPA is that **despite its high alcohol content, it’s surprisingly light and drinkable**. Let’s analyze the detailed tasting experience.
Aroma Impression – Complex and Beautiful Aroma Development
Bringing the glass to your nose, the first sensation is **tropical hop intensity** and **floral breadth**. It’s very pleasant with complex and gorgeous impressions. When you bring your nose close to the liquid, there’s a surprising **candy-like sweet aroma**.
The moment you swallow, **the beautiful way hop aromas spread cleanly through the back of your nose** is truly beautiful, and this aroma development is the true essence of OTHER VISION DIPA.
Flavor Analysis – Exquisite Role Distribution of Three Hops
Tell me how the three hops influence the taste!
When you actually taste it, you can see how each hop beautifully plays its role.
Role Distribution of Three Hops
- Grapefruit Character (Citra): Vibrant citrus aroma serving as the main axis of tropical fruit
- Stable Berry Character (Krush): More stable berry expression than Mosaic, catching Citra’s fruitiness
- Gorgeous Aroma Spread (Eggers Nelson): Forms the foundation creating beautiful aroma development
Flavor Structure: Exquisite composition where Krush catches Citra’s fruitiness with berry notes, using this as foundation for Nelson’s gorgeous aroma spread to develop
Mouthfeel and Drinkability – Balancing 8.4% Richness with Lightness
Most surprising is that **the mouthfeel is very gentle and light**. **It goes down smoothly despite being 8.4%** with amazing drinkability, featuring a **surprisingly smooth and dry** finish.
**It has substantial body without being too light**, yet **the smooth gap is very interesting**, achieving an exquisite balance. This is proof of the high technical skill of former Modern Times brewers.
| Flavor Element | Intensity (1-5) | Characteristics |
| Bitterness | 3/5 | Very light resinous and garlic character, vibrant and clean bitterness |
| Sweetness | 2/5 | Finished dry, contrasting with candy-like sweet aroma |
| Acidity | 1/5 | Barely perceptible, highlighting hop fruit character |
| Body | 3/5 | Solid body while maintaining lightness |
| Aroma Intensity | 5/5 | Consistently strong from glass aromatics to post-swallow |
Brewing Technology Analysis – Modern Times Style Technical Skill
The high quality of OTHER VISION DIPA comes from the technical skills of former Modern Times brewers. The following technical innovations particularly stand out.
High Attenuation (Fermentation Degree) Technology
To finish dry despite 8.4% alcohol content requires **high attenuation (fermentation degree)**. This creates a malt bill design that makes typically heavy Double IPAs light and **masks alcohol sensation**.
Hop Extraction Optimization
Three-stage dry hopping emphasizes aroma over bitterness extraction, perfectly controlling resinous nuances and hop garlic character!
Technical skill that perfectly controls elements welcomed in West Coast IPAs but disliked in Hazy IPAs. Let’s toast soon! (laugh)
Terroir Hop Utilization Technology
Utilizing Eggers Nelson’s unique **stress expression from challenging soil conditions** and perfectly controlling **harvest timing to avoid Nelson Sauvin’s garlic character**. Additionally, the technique of using Krush in **”a kiss of” small amounts** to suppress resinous character while utilizing berry notes is truly craftsman-level.
Comparison Analysis with Mosaic
Comparing Mosaic and Krush as popular berry-flavored hop varieties, while this is my personal subjective opinion, I feel there are the following differences.
| Comparison Item | Mosaic | Krush |
| Berry Expression | Complex with strong passion-like elements | More stable and appealing to preferences |
| Negative Elements | Personal impression: sometimes produces “flavorless gum”-like taste | Such taste is not perceptible or minimal |
| Positive Elements | Berry aspects are very attractive | Consistently stable berry expression |
| Compatibility with Other Hops | Shows unifying effect with Citra, Nelson but can be overly distinctive | Shows unifying effect with Citra, Nelson |
Overall Evaluation
This was a really delicious beer.
This beer is not just another high-alcohol IPA, but completed as **an artwork of brewing technique and hop selection**. It’s an innovative and beautiful beer worthy of the **”alternative vision”** that former Modern Times brewers created in Seattle.
Balancing 8.4% richness with lightness, perfect role distribution of three hops, and utilization of terroir expression hops – every element is calculated to perfection in this masterpiece. The quality and technical skill that had it packed from opening day was completely convincing.
Human People Beer, operating as a cafe from 8 AM and as a craft beer bar at night in the quiet student district of Roosevelt, will surely become a new Seattle beer culture hub rooted in community, true to their concept of **”human connections”**.
I can’t believe it goes down smoothly despite being 8.4%! Next time I want to enjoy it more leisurely, and I want to try breakfast too? I’m also curious about the surrounding Mexican food!
