Lumber Sexual

United States·Hazy Double IPA
Tap to rate

RAR's hazy DIPA — the counterweight to Nanticoke Nectar's older-school American IPA style. Big citrus and stone-fruit hop character, a creamy oat-and-wheat body soft enough to make the 8.4% disappear, and a low-bitterness finish that keeps everything in the juicy-and-warm register. The heavy end of RAR's IPA lineup, tuned modern.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Lumber Sexual

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a hazy, opaque quality throughout. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and grain proteins rather than chill haze, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. Head retention is generous, with creamy lacing that clings to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Bright, fruity hop character leads the nose, with pronounced citrus (grapefruit, tangerine) layered beneath stone-fruit notes of peach and apricot. Underlying wheat and oat notes provide a soft, grainy sweetness that anchors the bouquet without heaviness. The aromatic profile is clean and modern, with no harsh green or grassy edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied, with the oat-wheat base delivering a creamy mouthfeel that softens the alcohol despite the 8.4% ABV. Mid-palate emphasis falls on tropical and stone-fruit hop expression—peach and citrus dominate—while bitterness remains restrained at 65 IBU, never sharp or astringent. The sweetness-to-bitterness balance tips toward the warm, fruity side.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry without drying, with lingering peachy and citrus notes that fade gradually. Warmth from the alcohol is present but well-integrated, leaving a smooth, fruit-forward aftertaste.

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.
