Lunar Haze

Beavertown Brewery
United Kingdom·Hazy IPA
Tap to rate

Passionfruit and sweet peach lead, and a cloudy lemon finish closes the story: Lunar Haze is a juicy, tropical, hazy IPA at 4.5%. The brewery pitches it as an interstellar fiesta, a big, easy-drinking dust cloud of an IPA that goes down effortlessly whatever the conditions, although it admits a bit of sunshine would be nice.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
