Double Lustra

Tap to rate

Candied orange, over-ripened pineapple and dank bud come from assertive additions of Citra and Amarillo in this hazy double IPA. It is a bigger, fuller version of the house pale ale Lustra and an indulgent hoppy experience at 8.5%. Dancing Gnome in Pittsburgh brewed Lustra first, and the taproom opened on October 1, 2016.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Lustra

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-amber with a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The cloudiness derives from active yeast in suspension, characteristic of the style. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout.

◌ Aroma

Bold citrus and tropical fruit dominate, with candied orange peel and over-ripened pineapple leading the charge. Citra and Amarillo hops deliver their signature resinous, dank undertones alongside floral notes. The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing the hop character full expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied, with waves of orange zest and tropical stone fruit across the palate. Mid-palate sustains the hop intensity while a moderate bitterness (65 IBU) provides structure without harshness. The finish lingers on citrus and subtle dank notes.

◑ Finish

Lingering bitterness fades to a dry, hoppy aftertaste with residual orange and pineapple notes. The alcohol warmth (8.5%) integrates cleanly without heat.

Tulip glass

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