La Rúa Lupus
Citrus, floral and a soft herbal background lead the nose, with a touch of sweet bread as it warms; the palate stays refreshing and silky, and an intense, dry bitterness is its signature. Mosaic, Cascade and Citra do the hop work, orange peel and cardamom join in small amounts, and oats add body next to Pils and Cara Pils malt. The name nods to lúpulo, the Spanish word for hop.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for La Rúa Lupus
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, bitter, dry character as La Rúa Lupus will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
