Lucille IPA

Georgetown Brewing Company
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · American IPA · One of 386 American IPAs in hopIQ

Georgetown's Lucille splits a smart difference: tropical and fruit-forward enough to feel alive, but balanced with enough restraint that you can drink more than one. At 6.4% and 55 IBU, it sits between easy drinkability and real flavor — citrus, stone fruit, clean dry finish. A brewery's third core beer often steals the show, and this one did.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Lucille IPA

Appearance

Lucille presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation that forms a persistent white head. The foam displays good adhesion to the glass, leaving a thin lacing as you drink. The beer catches light with a glassy brilliance typical of well-executed American IPAs.

golden, clearbright carbonationpersistent foam

Aroma

The nose leads with prominent tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—layered beneath bright citrus oils and a subtle stone fruit undertone. Edible hop character dominates without any harsh green or vegetal notes. A clean fermentation profile allows the Edelhopfen to shine without competing yeast aromatics.

Taste

Entry is crisp and fruit-forward, with citrus zest and subtle pine resin developing across the mid-palate. The bitterness integrates smoothly at 60 IBU—present enough to define the beer but restrained enough to keep the fruity character in the foreground. The low malt sweetness allows complete hop expression without muddiness.
