Death Luxury

Tap to rate

Luxurious citrus flavour sits in a bright yellow grave of haze in this Hazy IPA. Mosaic and Eclipse supply the hops, barley, wheat and oat malt the body, and the 2026 edition comes in at 6% ABV. The label carries a line about riding with the undead across the night sky and playing by day in the catacombs of Nephren-Ka.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with citrus flavors immediately prominent across the mid-palate. The malt backbone—built from barley, wheat, and oat—provides creamy body and subtle grain sweetness that balances the 50 IBUs of restrained bitterness. The finish carries lingering citrus with a touch of tropical fruit without becoming dry or harsh.

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.
